\u201cHave mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.\u00a0\u00a0Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!\u00a0\u00a0For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cO LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Psalms 103:3<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,<\/p>\n

Psalms 32:1-5<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b> Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.\u00a0\u00a0Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.\u00a0\u00a0For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.\u00a0\u00a0For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah<\/i>\u00a0\u00a0I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, \u201cI will confess my transgressions to the LORD,\u201d and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah<\/i><\/p>\n

Isaiah 43:25<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.<\/p>\n

Luke 7:47-48<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven\u2014for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0And he said to her, \u201cYour sins are forgiven.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ephesians 1:7<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,<\/p>\n

Psalms 38:1-7<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath!\u00a0\u00a0For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me.\u00a0\u00a0There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.\u00a0\u00a0For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.\u00a0\u00a0My wounds stink and fester because of my foolishness,\u00a0I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning.\u00a0For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.<\/p>\n

Numbers 21:7-9<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And the people came to Moses and said, \u201cWe have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you.<\/p>\n

Exodus 15:26<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0saying, \u201cIf you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, your healer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaiah 53:5<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 17:14<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.<\/p>\n

If our sin was exposed so all could see, what would people see? \u00a0If our sin were heavy weights and tied to our backs would we even be able to walk? If our sin was a brick tied to our feet and we were cast into water over our head would we ever be able to reach the surface for a breath? \u00a0If our sin was a sickness would we need life support? \u00a0The answer to these metaphoric questions depends on our ability to see our sin. \u00a0Many times I think we use a comparison approach to sin. \u00a0We look for someone else who, in our eyes, has worse sin than us. \u00a0We use this to look away instead of looking inward. \u00a0This is a lie fed to us in heaping measure by satan. \u00a0We easily latch on to this instead of seeking to know what is in our heart, mind, and soul that is offensive to God. \u00a0David wrote it this way: “Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!<\/span>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!<\/em>” He asked God to reveal His sin to him so that he could live in such a way that honored and glorified God. \u00a0Start your day today asking God to reveal that which is not right in your life. \u00a0Then run with arms wide open confessing them to Jesus Christ and seeking to honor, glorify, worship, and praise Him for salvation and forgiveness of sin.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
