Bobby loved his son Eric dearly. He taught many skills to the seven year old. After school Eric would accompany his dad to the farm and help around the place. Bobby showed Eric how to make holes in the prepared soil and put one seed in each hole and cover it up lightly with soil. Eric learned things with interest.
One day Bobby was delayed and sent Eric with a handful of seeds to plant in the garden. Eric was happy that he was given a responsibility and ran to the farm with the seeds.
He started patiently poking the soil with his finger and carefully placing a seed in each hole. He had been through only three or four when his friend Dennis showed up. “This is going to take a long time and I’m going fishing,” Dennis said temptingly. “I can come along but Dad has asked me to do this,” said Eric. “No problem,” said Dennis, “Just make a big hole, put all the seeds and come. We’ll have a whale of a time.” Eric was tempted. He made a big hole, put all the seeds in and covered the hole with soil. Both went together singing, to the pond.
Around six in the evening Eric returned home and greeted his father. “Hi dad, I have finished the job,” he said. “Thank you, son,” said Bobby, “we can expect a good harvest of beans when the rains come.”
A week went by with intermittent showers. Father and son visited the farm daily. One day Eric cried excitedly, “Dad, the beans are showing up.” Bobby came running. One, two, three, four holes and then there was a cluster of sprouts. “What is this son? Did I not teach you to put one seed in one hole?” Eric hung his head in shame. He had to confess to his dad his misdeed and trip to the river with his buddy.
Sin cannot be hidden too long. Sooner or later it is bound to come up. Once you realize you have sinned, do not try to cover it up.
Confess it to God then and there and seek His forgiveness.
