Victorious Christian Living

DAY 6 OF 14

From Making Excuses to Repentance

Lord, forgive us for times when we excuse our actions and do not take responsibility for our wrongful behavior. For times, Lord, when we are quick to hide our wrongful words and actions behind – ‘I behaved this way because they did this or said that. Forgive us for the times when we blame others or try to rationalize our own wrong behavior, instead of accepting responsibility and repenting.

Give us, Lord, hearts that are humble. Help us to be quick to see the log in our own eye and to see our sin for what it is, as you see it. Help us, Lord, not to blame others or justify our behavior. Help us come quickly to the foot of the cross, humbly recognizing our own sinfulness and our need for you Lord, and for your cleansing. Help us, Lord, to be increasingly more sensitive to our own faults than the faults of others. May we be people who bring about change in our situations by being quick to confess and forsake our own sins, we pray.

Matthew 7:3-5 – And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Proverbs 28:13 – He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

Ponder this: Am I blaming or repenting?
