Be Sure Your Sins Will Find You Out


II Samuel 19-21

Dear God, will the blood letting ever end?  David’s life, before and after Bathsheba, is divided by rivers of blood, heartache, beheadings, and bones picked clean by birds.  We read in an almost constant state of “CRINGE!!”

No one fully understands God or His Ways, His Word, Prayer, Sin or Righteousness but there are truths that never fail.  As much as I would like to write an antidote on a good principle that we can always count on, The Word and my heart denies it from my pen.  Here’s the truth that my mom repeated to me many times during my youth and one that always holds true, “Be sure, your sins will find you out!”  I wonder how many times David looked up at the same stars he gazed at as a youth and muttered that phrase to his own old heart?
