Driving across the USA is always an adventure! I’ve had
the pleasure of doing it three times, but one particular moment
was an east-west trip when crossing out of Texas into New Mexico.
Immediately after crossing the state line was a large
billboard recruiting the need for
state troopers to patrol stretches of vast highways
like the one I was on that seemed to melt
into infinity before me. With no cars in sight
and NO ONE WAS WATCHING as far as I could see
the opportunity to greatly accelerate
to over twice the limit was too easy
an opportunity to pass up.
This raises an interesting question for all of
us and that is “How do we 'Behave'
when no one is watching?”
The answer is that it all depends on whether we
BELIEVE someone is WATCHING...and this is exactly what
today’s scripture verse is saying.
Many people live their lives - either consciously or unconsciously -
with the attitude since there is no god what is done
in secret is not seen by anyone and therefore there is no consequence.
However, the Bible tells us something far different.
Job 34:21 says that for everyone
“His eyes are upon the ways of man,
and he seeth all his goings.”
And while we might get away with something when no one is watching
Numbers 32:23 says that eventually “Your SIN will FIND YOU OUT.”
Friend, there is a day when we will all stand before the
judgement seat of God and the Bible says in Revelation that
two books will be opened containing the names of two distinct groups of people.
One book is the book of 'All That was WATCHED and recorded
but has NOT been FORGIVEN' and the other book is the
'Book Of Life' for all those that have been
forgiven by confessing and repenting of their sins and receving the
gift of mercy and grace that HAVE been FORGIVEN.
Regardless of what you have done when no one was watching,
the Good News (Gospel) for all is that
“If we CONFESS our SINS
He is faithful and just to FORGIVE US of our sin,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)
Friend, you have a choice which book your name will be in.
Today can be that day, but when your days expire it is always TOO LATE.
Don’t Let Your Sin Find You Out.
God Bless Your Day
