Confession Is Good For The Soul

Ever hear that old saying “confession is good for the soul”?
____________________________________________________________________
Nehemiah 9:29-33 "You warned them to return to your law, but they became arrogant and disobeyed your commands. They sinned against your ordinances, by which a man will live if he obeys them. Stubbornly they turned their backs on you, became stiff-necked and refused to listen. 30 For many years you were patient with them. By your Spirit you admonished them through your prophets. Yet they paid no attention, so you handed them over to the neighboring peoples. But in your great mercy you did not put an end to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God. "Now therefore, O our God, the great, mighty and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love, do not let all this hardship seem trifling in your eyes—the hardship that has come upon us, upon our kings and leaders, upon our priests and prophets, upon our fathers and all your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria until today.In all that has happened to us, you have been just; you have acted faithfully, while we did wrong.

People try to disassociate all the time, but when it comes down to it, we are still Americans, we are still responsible for what happens in our country, we are still responsible for what happens in our State, we are still responsible for what happens in our city, we are still responsible for what happens in our home. And that’s where it starts, in your home. If you want to change a nation, if you want to change the world, start where you have the most influence; in your home. Realize it is our fault that we are where we are today. But we can change, we can repent, and our God is just the same today as He was yesterday, and will be the same tomorrow. He is just, He will always be faithful. Our efforts are not in vain despite what the world says, our changes, our closeness to God, make a difference in the lives that are around us. See a people repent and turn to him Nehemiah, know that we can do the same.
