Do you know how often you and I need to confess our sin to God? Every. Single. Day. As Christians, we are in an ongoing war against our sin, and there are daily occasions in which we lose the battle. It is sin when we do what we are told not to do and when we don’t do what we are told to do. It is sin when we do anything without faith or anything without glorifying God. It is sin when we fail to love God above everything else and fail to love people as ourselves. It is sin when we don’t do what we know we should and when we fail to ask God what to do when we don’t know what we should. This spiritual journey we are on is one in which we have not yet been fully delivered from the presence of sin, so we must fight against it and confess our failings when we lose a skirmish. Every step of the way. Every time we pray. Every single day. Ours is a humble and simple cry out for grace: “I did it. I regret doing it. Help me not do it again.” Because Jesus has already secured the final victory over our sin, there is grace for us. Grace that gives us pardon when we lose the fight, and grace that give us power to fight on. #confessyoursintoday
