idiot medicine

Proverbs 28:13

“Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
 but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.”

Our initial instinct is to hide. We inherited that honestly.

Cover up. Spin toward the “better”. Explain our idiot away. Keep things secret.

But truth here tell us that hiding, costs us.

“Secrets make us sick”, one friend reminds me often.

Pretty sure no one prays to not prosper…however you define that word.

I want to prosper.

I want everything I do to prosper.

I want people I love to prosper.

Conceal = to not prosper

Confess and forsake (or repent…turn away) and you will find and obtain MERCY.

God’s ultimate favor.

God’s ultimate prosperity fertilizer is His Mercy.

Confessing is being honest with God about the condition of your soul.

Confessing is agreeing with God about the condition of your soul.

Our confession is not enlightening God…He knows.

“Adam, where are you?” He already knew.

His question was not a sin audit…but an invitation to relationship.

One the other side of “confess and forsake”, you will find Mercy…again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again…ad infinitum.
