People Who Conceal Their Sins Will Not Prosper

People
Who Conceal Their Sins
Will Not Prosper
Scripture
Proverbs 28
13 People who conceal their sins will not prosper,
    but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.
Observation

My God says if we conceal our sins we will not prosper!

But God provides us a solution to our sin problem. Here it is: confess and turn from them!

We need to tell God and tell someone else so we can receive mercy, so we can get help. We must admit that we have a problem.

Don't let pride gets in the way!

Several years ago I received a phone call from a very close friend of mine.

This friend, who was at that time living in an adulterous relationship with a younger co-worker called to tell me, “Eddy, I have realized that if I don't get things right with my wife, then my relationship with my children, my relationship with my friends, and my relationship with my God will never be the same.

So I am calling her up and if she will take me back I am going back and I am going to get things right with her.

Today God is using my friend and his wife to help other couples get their marriages back on track.

Their story is one of the greatest miracles I have ever witnessed.

Confess your sins and turn from them, and you will receive mercy.
Application
I will never give up on someone who is struggling with a sin problem. How about you?
Prayer

Heavenly Father, all of us have hurts, hang-ups, and habits. We need to confess them to You and we need to tell someone else. We need to get help. I pray for those struggling with addictions, those who have yielded themselves to sexual immorality, and to any other hurts, hang-ups and habits that they need to stop. Help them Lord to walk in victory by humbling themselves and confessing and turning from those sins and turning back to You.
