GODSPOWERPROJECT

If you try to hide your sins, God will
reveal them. “Be sure your sin will find you
out” (Num. 32:23).

I remember an incident that occurred
when I was a boy that serves as an excellent
example of this scripture truth. A man killed
his neighbor, wrapped a chain around him,
and dropped his body into one of the log
ponds at the saw mill. The man who died was
named Mr. Rice.

There was no explanation for Mr. Rice’s
disappearance. Because his body was not
found, his wife thought he had run off and
left her; so after a period of years she was
remarried.

Ten years went by.
Then one day the murderer, who was
working at the log pond, said to a fellow
worker, "I buried a grain of rice in these
waters ten years ago, and it didn’t sprout.”
The man he was talking to began to think
of how his friend, Mr. Rice, had disappeared ten years ago and had never been found. He went to the legal authorities with his story, and a new investigation was begun. They decided to drag the pond; and when they did, a man’s skeleton was found with a chain wrapped around it.

After all those years, the man who killed
Mr. Rice was put in prison. His sin
ultimately found him out. I don’t know what
happened to him, whether he received the
death sentence or a prolonged prison term;
but he paid a penalty for his actions.

The devil won’t let you keep quiet. That
man had to make some remark, even if only
in jest. If you try to hide your deeds, you will
never make it. Your sins will find you out.
The Bible says some men’s judgment goes
ahead and some men’s judgment follows
after. (1 Tim. 5:24.) If you don’t confess and
ask forgiveness, you will have to stand before
God and answer for it.

So many unsolved crimes and uncontested sins will be accounted for at the great Judgment Seat of God. Many hidden
mysteries will come to light at that time.
My friend, if there is anything in your life
that is hidden, I want you at this moment to ask God to forgive you for it. Ask God to come into your heart and into your life.
