Proverbs 28:13
He that
covereth his sins shall not prosper:
but whoso
confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Adam and
Eve tried to cover their sins and were unsuccessful. Hiding from God is quite the futile
pursuit. If we try to cover our sins we
will not prosper. Everything will be
affected. We are instructed by God in
this verse to confess and forsake our sins.
We don’t just confess and we don’t just forsake. We must do both. Agree with God. Make amends with those affected by our sinful
choices and then forsake those sins. The
people around you will eventually give you mercy because they see that you are
not only taking responsibility for what you have done, but you are seeking to
not continue in those patterns. Do you
want to find mercy? Confess and forsake your sins.
