Good Morning! Proverbs Day 28: Prov 28:13 He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. We all know that if we confess our sins God is faithful and just and will forgive us (1John 1:9) But in this Proverb there is one word that really caught my eye. The word RENOUNCES! Now I have to admit there are many times I sin and I know it is wrong, and I say to myself, "This is Wrong! I need to stop doing it." And I do for a while, but soon I find myself doing it again. And I ask forgiveness for it again. But it makes me wonder because I have not renounced this sin, does God forgive me each time I do it? In Romans 6:1 Paul asks the question, Do we keep on sinning so that Grace may abound? This is a question I have been pondering. God sees all we do, He knows our hearts and our thoughts. But if we are hiding these sins we are doing, it says we cannot prosper. Does that mean in this world we will not prosper or in the world to come? One thing I do know is we have a forgiving God! But will He forgive us and show us mercy when we keep doing the same thing over and over expecting different results? You know that is the definition of Insanity! Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. But I also think it is Insanity to think we can keep committing the same sins over and over again and expect God to forgive us. I do have some good news for you today He does. But what this Vs is saying is that if we just keep doing it and make NO effort to try and quit, He cannot prosper us. We will stay in the same ole, same ole life we have. If we do not try and renounce these sins that we do, we are just nailing Jesus' hands and feet to the cross every time we do them. So I ask you today is there some sort of sin in your life you just can't seem to stop? I know I have a couple. Well let us ask the Spirit for power, the power to RENOUNCE these sins that are stopping us from being prosperous. For we can conceal from man alot of things, but one thing we cannot do is hide our sins from God. And the only way He can Bless us and make us truly prosper is to renounce these things and get them out of our lives. So today let us not only ask for forgiveness, but let us RENOUNCE Too! HABD!
