Please! Don't Try It!!

Proverbs 28:13 says, "He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy."

The first half of the verse is a warning. The person who covers their sins WILL NOT PROSPER. This is a fact! Solomon declares something that is absolutely true. It is true all the time. It's true in every time period, in every life, on every continent. It cannot be escaped from! "He who covers his sins will not prosper"! Count on it.

There are no exceptions to the rule. You can't do it. I can't do it. It's a principle of life on God's planet. A person may not like this verse, but that doesn't change the truth of the verse. They may attempt to hide a sin, thinking this is the way to get ahead, but they cannot hide it from God. (Hebrews 4:13). A person may not like the law of gravity, but that doesn't change the law. If they step off a building they will fall to the ground. They won't actually 'break' the law of gravity. They'll more likely break their leg. The law will catch up with them.

Please. May NONE of us try to cover our sins! If we attempt it, GOD WILL SEE TO IT THAT WE DON'T PROSPER. Sooner or later consequences will enter our lives.

May we heed the warning. This is so serious.
