Why is it that the hidden things in our lives cause the most trouble? One of the big lies we tell ourselves is that if no one else knows, it isn’t causing harm to us. Deep down we all know that isn’t true but it feels easier at the time to try and bury the problem rather than hauling it out into the light.
The story of Achan is not an easy read but it can serve as a good reminder that while we do live in the light of Jesus’ victory over sin, we can’t just ignore it. Grace means forgiveness and faithfulness!
