Title: Come Clean and Take Accountability

Scriptures: Proverbs 28:12

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus! Proverbs 28:12 says...

You can’t whitewash your sins and get by with it; you find mercy by admitting and leaving them.

I often wonder why hiding the wrong things a person did seems to be always the first choice for man rather than coming clean and taking accountability to the wrong actions he took.  Have you ever thought of this?  It seems easier to hide it than confessing or admitting what we've done wrong.  Despite the fact that all secrets will always come out to the open sooner or later.  Just look at Adam, when he did something wrong, his first reaction was to hide from God.  But God knows how we think and He knows that we need to change the way we think regarding hiding our sins and to understand that our sins can hold us down if kept hidden.  So He warns us in verse 12 that there's no way for us to hide our sins and get away with it.  Then God offers a solution, our freedom.  How? He said find mercy by admitting what you did wrong and leaving them behind - not holding on to them anymore but letting it go.  Thank You Lord for Your Mercy and Grace!

Happy Freeday! 

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, Gracious and Merciful Father.  Thank You for wonderful message that time and time again lifts our soul and encourages our spirits.  Thank You Lord for the truth that Your mercy is for us but we need to come clean and take the 1st step of taking accountability for the actions we took.  Help me Lord to be accountable and to find it easier to repent than hide whatever sins I have in my heart and mind.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
