Proverbs 30:18-20 - Homilies By E. Johnson

The mystery of actions

I. THERE ARE ACTIONS WHICH , LIKE THE FLIGHT OF THE EAGLE , OR THE PASSAGE OF THE SHIP , LEAVE NO VISIBLE TRACE BEHIND . What seems to strike the mind of the simple-hearted Agur is the fact that criminal deeds may be committed and, seemingly, leave as little trace behind.

II. BUT THE MYSTERY AND SECRECY OF ALL ACTIONS ARE KNOWN TO GOD . We are naked and open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do. And God shall bring every secret work into judgment. Every act leaves its trace in the world of spirit.—J.
