“The wicked flee when no one is pursuing.”

 Haha, looks like we left something behind! Let's dive into Proverbs 28:1. It says, “The wicked flee when no one is pursuing.” We've all been there — done something wrong, felt guilty, and suddenly we're on edge. It's like everyone's watching us, even when they're not.

I recall a time when I, Silas, felt like my sins were exposed. A phone call from a faithful brother in the Lord after a long time had me thinking they were calling me out, but they just wanted to know how I have been doing and perhaps say words of encouragement. That's when I realized the weight of guilt can make us feel like we're being pursued, even when no one's after us. Maybe you're in that state because of your sin, because of your iniquity and wicked deeds, you feel someone is after you. You have fear, you don't want to hear from fellow Christian brethren because your sins are ever before you.

If you're feeling this way, I want you to know there's hope. Confess your sins to God, and He'll forgive you and cleanse you. He'll give you boldness and peace. Don't let guilt hold you back. Come to Him, and He'll set you free. He is faithful and righteous to forgive you of that sin and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. And He will surely make you as bold as a lion in Jesus' name. Amen! Have a wonderful evening!
