Secret sins ( Numbers 32 v 23 )

 Psalm 19  has a very instructive message ,it highlights 3 things,some call it a ,'A Psalm of Three Books', the three things are,' Creation ,Scripture,and Man'. In verse 12 , we have David writing,'Forgive  my hidden faults',another translation puts it,'cleansed from secret faults'. These are sins we commit which we don't want anybody else to know about, sins we seek to conceal. Examples are Achan  (Joshua 7) Gehazi (2Kings 5), King David (2  Samuel 11), Judas( John 12). All these people  committed sins they sought to conceal.They were deliberate acts ,they were not committed in ignorance, but with a brazenness that was disgraceful. Everyone of them did not take God into account,nor its consequences, but everyone of them was found out. The word of God tells us of something we can be sure about, and its this, that our sins will find us out. ( Numbers 32 v 23)There are no secrets from God, and those so called secret sins, will be dealt with,in judgement, unless we confess them to God  and have them forgiven. Remember there is no hiding place from God, He sees all, hears all, knows all,and will judge all.
