But
if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 1 John 1:9
Confession is
something that God has expected from the earlier times. He set rules for the
children of Israel to follow that gave them directions on what to do not just
IF they sinned…but WHEN then sinned. Confessing is agreeing with God about sin.
When you become aware of your guilt in any of these
ways, you must confess your sin. Leviticus 5:5

Solomon wrote
about the wisdom of confessing one’s sin in Proverbs, similar to what James
wrote. It is important to confess one’s sin to others…and to God. Consider the
power of prayer…prayer for each other, which is part of bearing one another’s
burdens.
People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but
if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy. Proverbs 28:13
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each
other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has
great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16
If we confess our sins to him…. Are you willing to admit that you have sinned?
God is always listening…He is faithful and merciful.
Prayer
~ Jesus…once again I humbly come before You admitting that I have not lived up
to Your standards and expectations. Please forgive me and give me the courage
and strength to do You as You would do.
