Jimmy was sent upstairs for a biscuit for his baby sister. They were nice biscuits, and the little fellow ate a big piece of one himself while he was up there. That was stealing, and Jimmy was a thief! When he came back down, his mother asked,
“Jimmy, did you eat any of the biscuit yourself?”
Some of the biscuit was still in his mouth and he was afraid to open it, so he just shook his head “No.” He hoped that he had covered his sin all up and that his mother would not know.
“Open your mouth!”
Now poor Jimmy was found out. He didn’t have time to swallow the last crumbs, and when his mother saw diem she gave him a really sound whipping. Jimmy had stolen, and Jimmy had told a lie. I hope his mother also taught him a Bible verse which says,
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Prov. 28:1313He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. (Proverbs 28:13).
No, children, you CAN’T COVER YOUR SINS. God’s eye is upon you all the time, and even though Father and Mother may never find out, GOD KNOWS.
But, GOD WILL COVER THEM FOR YOU. He says, “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.” Psalm 32:11<<A Psalm of David, Maschil.>> Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. (Psalm 32:1).
Are you trying to cover your sins yourself, or are they covered, and gone from God’s sight under the blood of the Lord Jesus?
