A number of computer games come with a special feature called the "Boss Key." If you're playing a game when you're supposed to be working, and someone (like the boss) walks into your office, you quickly strike the Boss Key. Your computer screen changes immediately, hiding what you've been doing.
Trying to hide from others when we've done something wrong comes naturally. We may feel guilty, but our desire to avoid admitting our responsibility is often stronger than our guilty.
Achan tried to hide his sin. He had stolen silver and gold and hidden it in his tent (Josh. 7:20-21). But when the Israelities were defeated in battle, the Lord told their leader Joshua that the loss was due to sin in the camp (w. 11-12). The Lord identified Achan as the one who had sinned. And even though Achan confessed, he and his family were executed (v.25).
We may not understand why God dealt so harshly with Achan's sin, but we do know He was instructingHis people in His holiness and their need for obedience to His commands (Ex. 20:17).
If you've been disobedient, it's time to come out of hiding. God is lovingly calling you and offering His cleansing, forgiveness, and restoration. - Anne Cetas
O Lord, help me to come to You
When I would rather ide my sin;
Give me the courage to confess
So I can be made clean within. -Sper
Confession is the key that opens the door to forgiveness.

I kept asking for a reason of something... and I got it clearly few days ago... it is because of sin...
I just don't understand how could such thing happen on me... but, I know Lord is in control of everything, I believe He knows my bitterness... since Lord allow it to happen, I will just ignore it as I don't know how to face it... however, I will ask God to stop it... I really do not feeling good with it...
When you have something that you think it is more important than God, you have sin... I do know that nothing is important for me now... well, maybe there are, but it is because of God, so it is important...
No matter what, I wish to hand in a good result when The Day has come... and that's all I live for...
