Sin, if not confessed, will be exposed.
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. Psalm 32:5
I don’t know about you but I had a smart Mom and Dad. Just when I thought I had them fooled about something I had done or was about to do, they seemed to know more about it than I did. They knew more about me than I knew about me. I used to think, “How did they find that out? Are they psychic?
Child of God, our Saviour knows our sin. He has a way of convicting us of our sin. If we do not confess and forsake it, He will expose it. Listen to a couple of scriptures;
Proverbs 28:13, “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”
1 John 1:8-10, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
What will it take to get your attention about the sin in your life? Who will have to suffer because you will not confess or forsake? Child of God, take heed to the Word so God can use you for His glory, for your good, and the good of others!
