📖 "He who covers his transgressions will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes his sins will obtain mercy.” -Proverbs 28:13 Amplified Bible Classic Edition
At some point in our lives, we will the mark. We will make a mistake or sin. When we miss the mark, we should always go to God. God is merciful. He tells us that if we confess our sins, He will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (I John 1:9). Sometimes when we make mistakes, we have been like Adam and run away from God. God doesn’t want us to hide from Him or ignore Him. He wants to love on us. He wants us to know that we are forgiven. We must forsake our sins and endure to live a clean and upright life before God. What we can’t do is try to cover our transgressions. That’s what David did. He sinned with Bathsheba and then once she became pregnant, He tried to cover it up by having her husband killed. That decision cost him a lot. Even though God forgave him, the consequences of that sin were very grave. Thank God we serve a merciful God; a God that is not only merciful, but a forgiving as well. Oh, how He loves you and me!
