Did anyone ever catch you doing something that was illegal, immoral or just plain stupid? How did you feel? Were you embarrassed?
When we fail to obey God, we sin. If we do anything which God forbids, we sin and must repent.
If we fail the second time we are not smart. We are like the two fellows watching a western. The first says, “See that posse chasing that robber? Watch, in just a minute he is going to get knocked off his horse by a low-hanging branch.” “No way,” said the other fellow, “I’ll bet you ten dollars it won’t happen.” Sure enough the robber rode under a tree and was knocked off his horse. “Looks like I owe you ten dollars,” said the second fellow. “That’s all right,” said the first, “I saw this movie before.” “Well so did I,” the second fellow replied. “But I didn’t think he was dumb enough to do it again.”
If we do it the third time we are an addict. We need to be treated for our addiction.
If we do it a forth time, God help us. Nothing we do can be hidden from God. Remember, God is watching us, not to punish, but to forgive.
Psalms 103:1-2 says: “Bless the Lord, O my soul…who forgives all your iniquities.” There’s a song that says “God Is Watching Us From Afar.” That’s not true. “Immanuel” is God with us!
