Day 10
Have you ever wondered if God could ever forgive your sin?
Have you ever wondered why you should confess?
Read: Psalm 35:5
This verse is part of a prayer by David asking for God's deliverance and justice against his enemies, expressing a desire for them to be scattered and defeated.
Read: James 5:16
This verse emphasizes the importance of confession and mutual prayer within the Christian community, highlighting the power and efficacy of righteous prayer in bringing about healing and transformation.
Thirty thousand runners……Twenty-six miles…….Thirteen water stations……Two tired feet……The Olympic marathon is a colossal challenge that dares runners to attempt its course.
The Christian life is like a marathon. It is a lifelong, often grueling race for which we train, sweat, and persevere. We condition ourselves to prepare for the race. We find ourselves running among countless other runners with the same goal: completing the race.
But not everyone makes it to the finish line. Some runners allow sin to begin piling up on their backs, slowing their strides until they collapse on the curb. The course is difficult enough without having to carry around the heavy burden of unconfessed sin.
Confession is the only way to unload it from your back. God is watching and waiting for you at the finish line. He wants to see you run across it free of injury. There is no sin that he won’t forgive. Can you hear him calling your name?
If we say we have no sin, we are fooling ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, he will forgive us, because we can trust God to do what is right. He will cleanse us from all the wrongs we have done - 1 John 1:8-9
