Lipstick on a Pig

Hebrews 4:13
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.  Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."

A few years ago, I heard a comedian interviewed by Larry King say, "God is too busy with other people, He doesn't have time to pay attention to what I'm doing."  So she would continue doing what she was doing; advocating what she was advocating - because God doesn't have time to pay attention to little her.

What a great job Satan, his hosts of hell and the world has done at minimizing the accountability of sin.  In effect, the enemy has taught us how to put lipstick on a pig.  Pretty it up - so that it's not as bad as we think.  After all, we're just following our heart...

In an effort to minimize sin, or put lipstick on a pig, the world gives sin warm and fuzzy names:

• Calling it worry instead of what God calls it --------  Unbelief in His ability to handle your circumstances.
• Calling it a "white lie" or an exaggeration of the truth ------- God calls it lying.
• Calling abortion a choice or a woman's right to choose ------ God calls it murder.
• Calling it flirting or a little crush ------- God calls it adultery (if you are married.)

God sees past the lipstick.    He sees the colorless, unattractive, cracked bleeding lips.  No matter how hard we try, we can't cover our sin. 

Sin is a very big deal to God.   

God does not minimize sin - and one day, we must all stand before Him and give an account of our lives.

Have you lost sight that God is watching? Have you lost sight that God loves you and wants what is best for you, yet does not compromise His holy standards?

Nothing is hidden from God's sight.    Not even pretty lipstick.

Tomorrow:  What to do with that pretty lipstick?
