“He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.” (v.13)
When we fall into sin, we have 2 options before us: try and cover it up or be honest and confess it. One leads to mercy and the other to more condemnation.
When we confess and forsake our sins, we are seeing our actions from God’s point of view and agreeing with Him about their wrongness. God then immediately accepts us, giving us mercy, which is good for the soul. King David said, “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity” (Psalm 32:1–2).
Therefore, choose mercy over condemnation and seek forgivness through Him who’s sacrifice covers all sin.
The Truth: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)
