Why not confess your sins today?
Why not confess your sins today?
I begin this devotion with the cry of two men, who though they never knew one another and came from different times and different circumstances, yet they both have similar circumstances that caused them to cry unto God from the depth of their souls. One came from the prophet Jonah, “When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to You, into Your holy temple” (Jonah 2:7). The other came from King David, “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy, blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me” (Psalm 51:1-3). As I said, neither man knew the other, but they are both “tied together” through the one sin that caused them great guilt and anguish. And notice that David said, “for I know my transgressions”, as in many. All of us can recall or call up sins that we have yet to ask forgiveness for or have yet brought before the “throne of grace”, yet it was for the one particular sin that they cried out for forgiveness, the one sin that stood out before all others, that they needed forgiveness. And so, from the bottom of their heart, they cried out, and from the depth of God’s love, they received forgiveness. 02/06/2025 10:04 AM
