The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Numbers 32:23, “”But if you will not do so, behold,

you have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your

sin will find you out.’”

Families should help one another. Members of families

should help each other. But some families in Israel did

not want to help other families because it meant going

to war. Moses then said, “…if you will not do so, behold,

you have sinned against the LORD, and be sure you sin

will find you out.” It’s a principle that carries over into

the New Testament and even into our own time. Whatever

we do that is against the LORD’s will, will surely come to

light.

This happened yesterday when former FBI Director James

Comey testified under oath before the Senate Intelligence

Committee. In the midst of answering a question, he openly

admitted that he leaked government information to a

friend, asking him to share it with a reporter for the New

York Times newspaper. Whether Mr. Comey at that precise

moment knew the implications of his testimony, the LORD

Himself only knows. But what he had done came out of his

own mouth and revealed him as having done wrong.

There’s just no way to get away with sin! Sooner or later,

what we do that’s wrong will come to light. We will then

be embarrassed –but, even worse, the LORD will hold us

accountable. “…be sure your sin will find you out.” Stay

clean. The LORD forgives us from our sin when we confess

it. The hurt and emptiness we feel when we sin is then

gone, and we are again clean. Praise the LORD for His

willingness to forgive and cleanse us!

Love and prayers always,
