He Who Promised Is Faithful

 

For He who promised
is faithful

He who promised
is true

that we might hold fast
our confession

of the hope we have
in You.

**********

The Faithful One is with me.

**********

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”

“But we are not of those who draw back to perdition. But of those who believe to the saving of the soul.”

Hebrews 10:23,39. NKJV

Psalm 32 Selah

 

I will not keep
my sin from You

but in You I
will hide

confessing all
my wrongs to You

letting forgiveness
inside.

**********

I can pause and be blessed by Your forgiveness, for You are with me.

**********

“Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.”

“I acknowledge my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; and You forgave the iniquity of my sin’.” Selah

“You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.” Selah

Confession Time

“I acknowledged my sin to You,
and my iniquity I have not hidden.
I said, ‘I will confess my
transgressions to the LORD.’
And You forgave the iniquity of
my sin.”  Psalms 32:5

In order to confess my sins, I must first acknowledge them.

Lord, thank You for Your forgiveness as I come confessing today.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

When I Know

May I be quick
to acknowledge

and confess
my sin

trusting You
will forgive me

and make me
new again.

God Fractions

“And they stood up in their place and read from the Book of the Law of the LORD their God,  for one fourth of the day; and for another fourth they confessed and worshiped the LORD their God.”  Nehemiah 9:3

The more we read God’s word, the more we know Him and realize how much more we need Him.

Oh Lord, I desire to spend time each day reading Your Word, confessing, praising, worshiping and praying.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

Options

There isn’t time for
thoughts that don’t bless
God and others
lifting up Jesus
so throughout the day
let me check and see
if I’m not praying, praising or worshiping
then let it a confession be.

We Have Sinned

” . . .please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You.  Both my father’s house and I have sinned.”  Nehemiah 1:6

We tend to notice other people’s sins.

Lord, help me pray “please forgive us”, not “please forgive them.”  And here’s a simple poem . . .

Fallen

We are
a fallen people

though You raise
us up again

so I confess
and ask forgiveness

for we all
we all have sinned.
