She walked into my counseling office, completely broken by sin. A very well-hidden secret had come to light. Could this be describing you?

Many years ago, the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh asked Moses for permission to live on the wrong side of the Jordan River. After assuring Moses that they were not trying to shirk their duties, Moses agreed with this warning: “But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord, AND BE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT” (Num.32:23).

The problem with sin is that it does not want to stay hidden. Last week, Douwene was out of town. How easy it would be for me to sneak into “Little Caesars” and order a Pizza. I mean, Douwene would never find out – right?

This happened to “a friend of mine”. He went to Little Caesars and ordered the cheapest pizza on the menu – without his wife’s knowledge. But then something very unfortunate happened. They told him that they could not sell him a pizza because of the time. So, they offered him two pizzas and his choice of chicken wings. However, because it was done in secret, he is now unable to tell anyone of his good fortune.

Friend don’t be like “that friend of mine”. Rather remember, “Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed or hidden that will not be known” (Lk.12:2).
