MESSAGE

13. He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

God is again telling me today not to cover up nor hide iniquities but instead confess and forsake them for me to experience prosperity and mercy.

PROMISE
14. Happy is the man who is always reverent,
But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

18. Whoever walks blamelessly will be saved,
But he who is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.


25. He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife,
But he who trusts in the Lord will be prospered.

26. He who trusts in his own heart is a fool,
But whoever walks wisely will be delivered.

APPLICATION

Most of the times, I tend to forget and hide all the ill doings I have done in the past. Later on, this skeletons haunt me and overpower me to revisit what had happened in the past and unknowingly recommit them again. Verse 13 is showing me the key how to totally get rid of it all, CONFESS and FORSAKE. Forsaking is not an easy task as it takes a lot of effort, courage and perseverance to resist the call of human flesh. Confessing is not easy either as this will mean baring off my angel mask and revealing all the blemishes that I kept hiding ever since. I know this is a hard thing to do, but I know God will help me. I got my confession partner now to help me through in venting out all this undesirable bullets in my history. God is merciful, He understands and and he cares for me. 

PRAYER

Lord help me to confess not only to you but to my confession partner all that I have done in the past that kept me from moving and prospering. Take my pride off, ground me and pound me that I can be pulverized and smoothen, and be fine enough so You my potter can reform me in to the shape that You wanted me to be.
