Numbers 32:22-23 (NKJV)
22 And the land is subdued before the LORD, then afterward you may return and be blameless before the LORD and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD. 23 But if you do not do so, then take note, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.
Reflections:
It is said that there are two things that are certain in this life: death and taxes. Well, were going to add one more to the list, and that is that you can �be sure your sin will find you out.� This is an immutable principle of God. What we sow, we will also reap -- plant bad seed; reap bad harvest. Perhaps we haven�t thought this through adequately �
Is it possible (that even as Christians) sin can still ravage and or destroy our lives? Take for example the born-again repentant brother or sister in Christ who�s sitting on death row for murder. Yes, they have absolutely been forgiven � and beloved, yes they will absolutely still suffer the ultimate consequence of their sin �
How about the lingering and unpleasant effects of a divorce � or the emotional and/or physiological effects of drug abuse long after one has been freed from its awful grip � or the young girl who has carelessly entered into fornication resulting in pregnancy; having to raise a child alone, etc. Yes, the gash that sin had made has been cleansed and stitched closed by Christ, but there�s those scars that sin has left �
�If we walk in the Spirit we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.�
