Devotionals
“As far as the east is from west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” Confessing the truth to someone about sin is not something anyone looks forward to, but sharing the truth about ourselves with others is one of the most powerful gifts God has given because it helps wage war against the enemy. The devil uses reverse psychology to keep you from being real with God and others by trying to condemn you. There are those who readily point the bonny finger of judgement at you as well.
But instead of trying to protect yourself by keeping everything inside, God gives you confession as way to stay holy before Him. James tells us to “Confess our sins to one another and pray for each other so we may be healed.” In scripture, confession actually means to reverently praise and give thanks to God. It means to have an extended open hand to the Lord in a transparent willingness to open yourself up to Him through repentance. It encourages you to daily claim the covenant God made with you when He sent His Son to die on the cross for your sins.
It also denotes a sense of completion by constantly coming before the Lord with a humble heart and repenting, seeking Him vehemently and enthusiastically. Do this as if your very life depends on it (and it does) because the gift of your salvation keeps on giving, but only when you daily seek God’s face by falling on your own before Him”. “He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces it finds mercy.” Proverbs 28:14 goes on to say "blessed are those who always fear the Lord, but those who harden their hearts fall into trouble.”
