“I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. - Selah” - Psalm 32:5 (ESV)
We learn from our Bible that God forgives our sin. However, sometimes, some people, aren’t convinced of that promise. It is difficult for us to acknowledge that we need forgiveness. It is hard to admit we have transgressed, as it says in our verse today. However, even though we know our sins are forgiven when we believe God and become part of His family, we find ourselves struggling with doing wrong when we know to do right. We need help feeling worthy of love at times when our failings are staring us in the face. God has removed our guilt and has taken our sins far away from us but we begin to doubt or ignore this when our actions make us feel separated from God. It is time to make God’s promise real and experience its fulfillment. We must acknowledge to God our sin, our failings. That is, we come to agreement with God that what we’ve done is sinful. We confess to the Lord directly just as the psalmist does in this Psalm. We can embrace the truth about what God has done for us and rejoice with thanksgiving in God our Savior.
