This evening, my devotion took me to Numbers 32:23, “But if you will not do so, behold you have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.”

When it comes to sin, “we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23.)

The difference, however, lies in how we react to the call to repent and forsake our evil ways. Whenever the call comes to turn around, each one tend to follow one of the following paths:

Either
-Repent, and start a new chapter of our Christian walk

or
-Continue sinning deceiving ourselves that we’ll never be caught.

It’s the second group that the text seems to be addressing. It reminds all those involved in any kind of sin that a day comes, when whether we like it or not, we’ll sure be caught!

Remember the old adage that the “thief has but 40 days!” When that time comes, even those that you were sinning with will laugh at you and wonder a loud how come you were caught!

Those who have found themselves in a similar situation will tell you, that even your beloved ones will forsake you! Sin is ugly! Naam, very ugly when it finds you out!

The best solution is to leave it alone! Will you?

Just a thought.
