Thought For the Day

I discovered with a bit of a smile that  the Gnomes of Zurich is a disparaging term for Swiss bankers , as Swiss bankers are  popularly associated with secret deals, in the same way gnomes in fairytales live underground, in secret counting their riches.

Transparency is perhaps an overused word these days when it comes to politics and finances, but it cannot claim to be a new idea. Jesus warned that what was done in the dark would be brought into the open and that God would see it all, whatever we do must be right in the eyes of God ,for he sees us and knows us and nothing is hidden.

Now I don't have any deep dark secrets, but there are times when I know I could have behaved better, the parking tickets where I chanced my arm, the borrowed stationery from work, the gossip I happily indulged in.... I am sure I am not alone, but God expects better.

"For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open".
Luke 8 vs 17
