WHAT'S HIDING IN YOUR HEART?

 
 
Proverbs 28:13
 
"Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy." ESV 
 
 
It's human nature to want to hide those things we know are sin. We work increasingly hard to keep these things private so others will not find us out. But, this keeps us stuck in our spiritual walk with Christ and we sit guilt ridden, with fear of exposure, and physically ill from the pressure of carrying hidden sin. We cannot hide our sin from God. But we can be set free from the burden of sin by stopping it, approaching God, and confessing our sin to Him. With His loving forgiveness, He will shower us with His mercy.
 
Heavenly Father, we rejoice that You are always ready to forgive us when we come to You confessing and repenting of our sin. Give us courage, insight, and strength to face our own sins, so that by Your mercy, there will be nothing standing in the way of our spiritual prosperity. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

NOWHERE TO HIDE

 
 
Hebrews 4:13


"And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account." ESV


We have all been guilty of or know someone who has engaged in secret sins. Many believe they are all right as long as they are not hurting anybody else. Somehow the human mind finds ways to justify sin so it won't seem so bad. It really doesn't matter if someone hides their secret sin from others, because God sees it and He is the one to whom all individuals will give an account. There will be no excuses, no blaming someone else. Our God is the God of love and grace, but He is also the God who judges sin casts it into the outer darkness.


Heavenly Father, search our hearts. Bring on us the spirit of conviction if there is any hidden sin we are harboring in our lives. Give us this opportunity to repent and live clean before You rather than be condemned under Your hand of judgement. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
