NOW HOW DID YOU FIND THAT OUT?

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!

WHO ARE YOU?

         Not only do we not know God saves through Jesus Christ, but we do not know ourselves save through Jesus Christ.  We know neither life nor death save through Jesus Christ.  Apart from Jesus Christ we know not what our life is, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves. --Blaise Pascal

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14

         I am not sure when I was first exposed to a microscope but I remember jumping back when I saw what that little machine exposed was in a droplet of water from a mud puddle. Little squiggly things, some long, some round, some fat, some short, some with the potential to upset your stomach and I’m sure others with the potential to kill. Outside of seeing those little blessings though, I would have continued to drink from the ponds of nastiness in our driveway!

         Hey, if it had not been for the Lord Jesus Christ showing us who we are, we would still be drinking from the puddles this world offers to us! Child of God…that’s something monumental we ought to thank the Lord for! A sound mind that directs us to who we were before Him and then Him giving us the power to become the sons of God! We are nothing without Him!
