If we
confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Multiple times in the Old Testament, passages describe
God as “slow to anger and abounding in love”. A vast contrast exists between God,
being in perfect righteousness, and mankind, struggling with persistent unrighteousness.
In His patient, faithful goodness, God continues to reach for us, to shine His
Light in the darkness of sin. In this place of longing, God waits. He waits for
us.
Sadly, either ignorance or arrogance maintains the
barrier between us and God, because even without confession God already knows. To
confess our sins means we “agree” or “acknowledge” with God that we are imperfect,
that we are unrighteous. God, faithful to forgive, is waiting.
Lord, the world applauds wanting more,
self-focused thinking, looking important. It is so easy to slip into the
darkness. You are the faithful Light that constantly shines showing me the way
back to You. Forgive me for listening more to the lies of the world than to
You. Great is Your faithfulness. – dho
Focus Point:
God, faithful
to forgive, is waiting.
