Exodus, Chapter 2, Verse 13-14
13 The
next day he went out again, and now two Hebrews were fighting! So he asked the
culprit, “Why are you striking your companion?” 14 But he replied, “Who has appointed you
ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the
Egyptian?” Then Moses became afraid
and thought, “The affair must certainly be known.”
Moses was a prince of
Egypt and also a Hebrew slave. Moses as a man sought justice for his Hebrew
brothers and in a fit of anger killed an Egyptian that was brutalizing a Hebrew
slave and secretly buried him in the sand. Secrecy is an important element in
sinfulness. When we find ourselves wanting to keep something secret we should
ask ourselves are we going down a road that we want to go; is this secrecy that
we desire really an attempt to hide our sinfulness from God; who sees all
things. Think twice the next time you seek secrecy.
