Scripture: Revelation (NIV) 3:1 To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds… 7 To the angel of the church in Philadelphia…8 I know your deeds. 14 …church in Laodicea…15 I know your deeds…

Observation: “I know your deeds” a phrase spoken to five of the seven churches. To Smyrna he writes, “I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich.” To Pergamum he writes, “I know where you live…”

Application: Do I really know with Whom I am dealing? Do I really know this one I call my God? Do I think I can get by with anything? Do I think I can hide anything from Him? Do I really think He cannot see and does not know? Do I think I can sneak anything by Him? OR, do I really know with Whom I am dealing? Do I really know this one I call my God? Do I think that He does not see every acts of kindness? Do I think that he will leave my service un-rewarded? Do I really think it is not worthwhile to serve Him?

Prayer:   Lord, you know my deeds. You even understand the motives behind them. I trust you to be both holy and loving.  Amen
