T HE K I N G ’ S B U S I N E S S Go into the darkest den of earth, and draw the black curtains behind you, until the place of your sin is as black as hell, but the flaming eye of God will penetrate the secret of -your darkness, and condemn you. “His eyes are upon the ways of man, and He seeth alt their goings. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.” Job 34:21. A great multitude of the world’s deepest sins are committed at night. Murder, robbery and adultery all walk in the darkness, and cover their shame with the night. When the world is slumbering and sleeping, the vile of the earth are defiling themselves with un. speakable sins.

There is no such thing as sinning in secret, neither will there ever be a day in Time or Eternity, when you can hide one single unforgiven sin. “ All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.” Heb. 4:13.
