Living With No Regretsഉദാഹരണം
God didn't put us on this planet to do life alone. John Donne famously penned the line, “No man is an island.” That's so true! We were not designed to be an island to ourselves. We need a spiritual family, expressed through our local church, to come around us and help us move on when we fail. Solomon warns us of the dangers of becoming bitter and isolated when we nurse our regrets. “…But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up” (Ecclesiastes 4:10).
James encourages us that when we confess our sins to one another and pray for each other, we will be healed. That's great news! There is something powerful in confessing our faults to another person, particularly someone we've hurt. When we humble ourselves and do this, it brings healing in us and in our relationships. Also, admission of the wrong helps us not make the same mistake and be more conscientious in the future.
Confessing our faults to God AND one another, allow us to walk in health, wholeness, and freedom from the bitterness of regret. The first step is to ask for God's forgiveness. The next step is to confess your faults with the person you hurt. By doing this, the walls of pride and isolation are broken. Reconciliation and restoration lie ahead for “the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man (or woman) avails much.” Press into prayer and confession. Wholeness is in your future!
As you engage with God’s Word:
● What is God saying to me?
● What does it mean to me?
● How can I apply what God is teaching me?
● How can I be specific in prayer today?
After you reflect on these questions, bring everything to God in prayer. If you have any prayer requests or testimonies you'd like to share, we'd love to hear from you—just visit SteveRobinson.com today to connect with our team, discover more resources, or sign up for my weekly devotional email today!
