All our sins are exposed before the Lord God

Posted

For we are consumed by your anger, and by your wrath we are troubled. You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your countenance. For all our days are passed away in your wrath. We spend our years as a tale that is told. Psalm 90:7-9

Though we don’t often think of it in this way, Moses reminds us that all our sins, even those secret ones, are seen by the LORD God and bring about His just anger and punishment. As a result, our lives are brief and pass away as a tale that is told.

I confess my sins, O God, and acknowledge my transgressions. I deserve nothing but Your righteous wrath and punishment. I flee for mercy to the atoning sacrifice of Your Son, Christ Jesus, my Savior. For His sake, grant to me pardon and forgiveness and life everlasting. Amen.

[Scripture is quoted from the Revised Common Version of the Bible.]
