Humility Contains Within It The Willingness To Acknowledge Past Mistakes

“For I recognize my shameful deeds – they haunt me day and night. Against You, and You alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in Your sight.”
Psalm 51:3–4 (NLT)

DECEMBER 1 - It is impossible to make continual progress in life while holding sin in our hearts. God is not a respecter of persons. What He says…He does! God tells us that any man who chooses to hide sin in his heart soon comes to ruin. He also tells us the man who is humble soon comes to wisdom.

Humility is the access key into the presence of God. God resists the proud. We must continually examine ourselves and ask God if there is pride within our hearts. One of the ways we can continue to walk with a humble heart is to willingly acknowledge our past faults. Pride refuses to reveal itself in the form of repentance. However, we must repent if we ever sincerely desire to experience true progress once again.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that You give me the divine example of a life of humility. I humble myself under Your mighty hand, and in Your good time, You will honor me. I give all my worries and cares to You for I know You tenderly care for me.
