He
represented himself to be someone he was not in a business transaction.
At the time
this man committed this sin, he felt justified in committing the sin.
He had good
reasons for misrepresenting himself.
He even had
noble reasons for doing what was not in God's will.
However,
just after he did these wrong things, God spoke to Him and he listened to God.
God spoke to
him through his conscience.
When God
spoke to him through his conscience, the wrath of God fell upon him and he was
devastated by what he had done.
When his
conscience stabbed him and pierced his heart, he took action by telling the
truth to and apologizing to those people to whom he lied.
The end
result of this wrath was a good result.
The people
who were lied to got to see a godly man recant, become humble, and tell the
truth.
Their life
was impacted.
The end
result for the man who lied is he never repeated that sinful mistake again.
For you,
because you know this story, this man's wrath can also be good if you follow
this man's example and always do the right thing.
Further, if
you do not do the right thing and you make a mistake, learn from this man's
example, own up, apologize, and do not repeat the mistake again.
