Asking God to forgive your sins is better than AJAX cutting stains from a 6 year old boy’s jeans!
Psalm 32:5, I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
David had committed adultery, a grievous sin, and then tried to cover it up. The first time by getting Uriah, Bathsheba’s husband, to go sleep with her. Then by getting him drunk to do the same. When those two things didn’t work, David sent him to the hottest part of the battle so he would be killed. David orchestrated Uriah’s death to cover up his sin. He tried everything he could but yet God knew his heart! God knew the wickedness he had committed.
With the guilt and shame holding him down, he cried out to God for forgiveness. When he did, the is what he said about God; “… thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.”
Hey friend, confession is the best cleansing! He will take that mess you have made and make it a message of Grace! Would you follow David’s lead and ask the Lord to forgive you this morning?
