Romans 3:22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
this morning I was reading a devotional called strength for the journey and the man was talking about Psalms 51. he says that this psalm was written by david after the sin with bathsheba and uriah has been told back to him by nathan the prophet after david tried to cover it all up...
at the bottom of the devotional it suggests to read psalms 51 and while reading it... confess your sin to God... and I sit there and want to say... what sin? strange how I always want to think that I am not sinning... surely... I am sinning in some way in the eyes of God... I mean.. yes, I do my best to be obedient to the will of God... I try very hard to be what God is calling me to be... but the bible says... we ALL fall short... which means.. I am sinning... I must be constantly in my mind covering it up in hopes of righteousness... (yes... I said hopes...)
so... Father... daily... remind me of things I am doing that are unpleasing to you... I don't want to just ask you to cleanse me from unrighteousness and not know what the sin was... I want to be changed... I want to be whole in Your eyes... show me my sins DAILY... in Jesus name I ask... amen.amen.amen.
