S - Luke 8:17 For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all.
O - This is Jesus talking about not covering a lamp with a basket but instead putting it on the stand for the light to shine throughout the room. This light then will reveal those things that are hidden and make it known to everyone.
A - Most of the time I think of this verse as a warning to understand that everything I do and say in private will eventually be brought out into public; and this is true. I need to be extremely careful with my thoughts, words and actions even in public as they will be made known at some point. However, I think I tend to miss the other side of this verse most of the time. Those good things that I do or say in private will also be made known in public. Although my point shouldn't be to do something in private knowing that others will find out and this may give me satifisfaction and or respect, I should be aware of this as this means I don't need to broadcast my good words or actions that were done in public. God will take care of letting whoever needs to know know of what was said or done and even if no one ever finds out, I know that God knows about it and I do it for Him.
P - God, Help me to understand this truth daily and to focus on doing good and not worrying about who may see this good. I do right for you and you alone, regardless of who else hears about this. I want to glorify you and thank you for all that you have done by the words out of my mouth and actions that I take. Bless my family and me today and keep us healthy and pure.
