A man lied about who he was. 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 sinning. 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 and apologizing to those people to whom he lied. The result of this wrath was good. The people who were lied to got to see a godly man recant, become humble, and tell the truth. Their life was impacted. The result for the man who lied is that he never repeated that sinful mistake. For you, because you read 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.
