But
I Confess My Sins;
I
Am Deeply Sorry
For
What I Have Done.
Scripture
Psalm
38
Observation
All
of us are sinners, maybe you sin less than me, maybe I sin more than
you, but we are both sinners. And it only takes one sin to break all
of God's law (James 2:10).
So
what is sin?
Sin
is anything that we do that does not please God. Sin is also not
doing something that we know we should do … the sin of omission.
James 4:17
“Remember,
it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.”
So
what is the answer to our sin problem?
Psalm
38:18 gives us our answer … we should confess our sins to God and
we should be deeply sorry for what we have done!
If
you are struggling with something in your life and you just can't
seem to get victory over a particular sin then I suggest joining a
Celebrate Recovery group and surround yourself with people that love
you and that will help you and will hold you accountable.
Just
google Celebrate Recovery and find one that
meets close to where you live.
Our
church, Christ Fellowship has Celebrate Recovery at 5pm on Sundays.
They would love to help you have victory over any hurts, hangups, or
habits that you might be struggling with!
Application
I
will try to help my brothers and sisters in Christ when I see them
struggling with sin. I realize that I too am a sinner. It is my place
to help them and not judge them.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for giving us the Psalms to read. King David
struggled with sin just like we do. He cried out to You for
forgiveness just like we should. Help me to follow his example and
confess my sins when I commit them. Break my heart Lord with what
breaks Yours. Keep me walking close to You and far from sin.
