3 When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long.
5 Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.
Reflection: Is pride keeping you from confessing out loud the things you have done to dishonor God? When was the last time you held yourself accountable for your actions? Have you made confession a daily practice?
Declaration: Today, I will confess my sins. I will confess to God and also to those I have offended. I understand that the longer I hold in my wrongs, the worse off I will feel. Therefore, I will release myself from the burden of poor decisions, confess my faults , and receive God's forgiveness.
Sin has a varying effect depending on which one you commit. The sufficient sacrifice of the cross does not destroy the power of sin but rather is remove us from its power. He uses his power to destroy the power of bondage over my life. The law of the spirit of life in Christ has made me free from the law of sin and death. So then like Paul I need to then reckon myself to be dead indeed to sin but alive to God in righteousness and yield then my members as a slave to righteousness. I need to get entangled with Jesus and His word because in his bondage do i learn how to walk in freedom.
