Day 39 – Confession

Today’s study is c continuation of the previous
days’. Without re-reading them, can you give
a brief summary of the two Psalms (32and 51)
you have been considering?
When David saw sin in his life, he was broken
and contrite over that sin. What does that
mean?
David confessed his sin. Why is confession
“good for the soul?” Why does it bring
healing?
Who did David confess to? (If you said “God”
think again. He wrote this Psalm of confession
to read and heard by all Israel.)
What did you learn earlier about confession
from 1 John 1:9? Memorize this verse.
Look at James 5:16. You will be tempted to
not let this be happening in your life, but you
must remember how right it is. Also memorize
this verse.
None of this is to write a rule that’s has “you
must confess every sin to some other person.”
But isn’t it clear God’s people need to have a
confessing attitude? Isn’t it clear that hearts
cannot be pure where there is hiddenness or
deception?
What is your attitude toward confession? Do
you see it as an opportunity or a burden?
