You Won?t Get Away With It!

876Isaiah 59:12
Our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us.
Bible Reading for a Year [bible]psalm67[/bible]; [bible]hebre1[/bible]; [bible]micah1-2[/bible]
To attend a rock concert in Hart Plaza, a group of students at Renaissance High School in Detroit decided to cut classes. They thought they had gotten away with it, but they were wrong. The next day The Detroit News carried news of the concert. Guess what happened next!
Surprisingly, the delinquent students of Renaissance High were in that picture. The newspaper carried the color photo on the front page, easily recognizable by anyone.
The story, like the Bible, teaches that we cannot hide our iniquities. Oh, we may be able to cover them up for a while and even get away with them for an extended period of time.
But the day will inevitably come when we must face up to them. Paul told the Galatians, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7).
Perhaps you have some secret sin that you are hiding. If so, confess and forsake it. Or maybe you are gradually being drawn into a situation that you know is wrong and you’re tempted to pursue it, thinking you won’t get caught. Stop it now and go no further! Your picture may not appear on the front page of a newspaper, but the Bible says you won’t get away with it!
The seeds of wrongdoing may be sown in secret, but the crop cannot be concealed.
