““Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your mouth, For the Lord is
the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are weighed.”
On August 15, 2018, VAR (Video Assistant Referee) was first used in a competitive
match between France and Croatia. It debuted after years of argument for and against;
and even now the argument rages as to its importance. It is a technology introduced to
help officials make correct decisions, thereby enforcing fair play. I watched a match
recently where a goal given by the referee was cancelled with the aid of VAR. Unknown
to the centre referee, a player had obstructed the goalkeeper before conceding the goal.
It was the VAR that brought that to focus.
“It is scarier when you discover that even thoughts and motives will be weighed.”
As the game went on, one thing on my mind was how many things that we celebrate as
goals (success and breakthroughs) will be cancelled when God finally reviews them. In
Hannah’s prophetic worship, she submitted that all actions are weighed by God. It is
scarier when you discover that even thoughts and motives will be weighed. “For God
will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.”
