Key Verse: Verse 23 – “But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.”
Key Words: be sure your sins will find you out
The scale of justice can truly be a painful experience. We are told in Romans 12:19b, “Vengeance is mine: I will repay, saith the Lord.” Payback is a hard thing to endure; but we are told that we reap what we sow!!
But our key verse is the principle for the day: “Be sure your sins will find you out.”
A certain woman, preparing to entertain guests, went to a small grocery store to buy food. She stopped at the meat counter and asked the attendant for a large chicken. He reached down in the cold storage compartment, grabbed the last chicken he had, and placed it on the scale. “This one weighs four pounds ma'am,” he said.
“I'm not sure that will be enough,” the woman replied. “Don't you have a bigger one?”
The attendant put the chicken back into the compartment, pretended to search through some ice for another one, then brought out the same bird, discreetly applying some finger pressure to the scale. “Ah,” he said with a smile, “This one weighs six pounds.”
“I'm not sure,” the woman frowned. “I'll tell you what - wrap them both up for me!”
Oops! Be sure your sin will find you out!! And it did!! And so will it for all of us. There is a payday someday.
