Every confessed sin is judged and covered by the Lord so that the devil finds nothing to accuse you of before God. Unfortunately many believers because of ignorance try in vain to cover their sins. It is better to expose your sins on earth before death, otherwise they will follow you to accuse you before God after you have passed on to the other side of eternity where no defendant will ever be acquitted.

Many people do not seem to understand that worldly gain profits nothing. That explains why a man can do anything for material gain, at the expense of his never-dying soul. Your soul is so important to God and nothing will be accepted in exchange for it. Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivers from death. There is no middle ground between the world and your soul: you can either gain one and lose the other. And the choice is yours.

The Almighty God is a just God and He weighs the actions and motives of men in His balances. When king Belshazzar was weighed, he was found wanting. The Lord sees your ways and counts your steps. Even the thoughts of your heart are very loud in His ears: He hears and sees your every imagination. Judge yourself and you will not be judged.

When God saw that Israel became comfortable in the wilderness, He told them to move forward. He took them through the way of the red sea to prove them and for them to learn some beneficial lessons. However, in their disobedience they stayed longer than necessary in the wilderness. The Lord is concerned about your spiritual stagnancy and lack of progress. Now it's time to make progress in your journey to heaven - desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby - 1 Peter 2:2.

As believers, we are called to walk the way of the cross every day. Even Christ suffered for us denying himself, and leaving us an example, that we should follow his steps. Jesus, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously. He also bore his cross to Golgotha, the place of his crucifixion - John 19:17. You must endeavour to endure till the end.
