David committed adultery and murder, and for months everything seemed hidden, until the child was born and died as a consequence of his choices. Samson’s story also looks quick when we read it, but he was a judge for twenty two years. His journey, from dating a Philistine woman, to visiting a prostitute, to meeting Delilah, unfolded over many years. Sin doesn’t always show its damage immediately.
It’s very easy to convince ourselves that we’re holy because we go to church, serve, worship, or pray every day. Yet before God, there can be areas of our lives that have become so normal to us that we no longer see them as sin. What feels “manageable” or “not so serious” to us may actually be a stench before a holy God.
Today, take a moment and ask God to search your heart. Ask Him to reveal any sin you have normalized simply because the consequences haven’t shown up yet. And as He reveals, ask for forgiveness, then choose, like David, to walk differently and pursue a life that pleases Him.
This is also a reminder not to be discouraged when you see people living in open sin while confidently claiming to be believers. Consequences may be delayed, but they will always come. Let us pray that hearts turn to God before eternity meets them.
May God bless you and continue to help us as we grow to become more like Christ.
