If you attempt to cover sin, before you know it, you will be drowning in it!
For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. Psalm 38:4
David cried out, His sin was too much for Him. So much so that He was sinking in them. He could not hold up the sheets to cover His sin no more because they are too heavy for him. The weight of his sin was causing him to drowning in them! So He says in Psalm 38:18, “For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.”
It’s the same with you and I friend! If we want peace, we must go to the Prince of Peace! If we want a clear conscience so we might get a good night’s sleep, we must go to Jesus! If we want to be lifted with Joy, we must go to Jesus! If we don’t want to drown, we must confess our sin! When we do, He will lift us out of them!
