Psalm 106:6-12

Psalm 106:6-12
English Standard Version (ESV)

  We have a choice in life.  We can choose to pretend that we are immune to the failings that we see around us, that we will not be overtaken by temptation and falter on the road we travel.  If we choose this path, then we don't need God, because we are just fine on our own.  Only when we reach impassable obstacles will we realize the folly of this decision.
  The other option involves humility and confession.  This is the harder way, and out of stubborn pride, many choose the former.
  But confessing our weakness leads to healing, because we are then able to let go of past burdens, and the future obstacles that stand in our way are an opportunity to lean on the strength of God, and we do not have to hesitate to call on a strength greater than our own, because we know that ours is not enough.
  Confession keeps us humble, and it makes us wise, because when we confess our unworthiness, we are free to learn from those around us, and we are free to ask for God to guide us along the way, because we are not trustworthy.
  God is, however, and that is enough.

May we find the courage to confess our failings
