If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.

2 Timothy 2:13

Romans 3:1-5

A young man was in an outpatient drug rehab program, meeting with a counselor weekly. Some weeks he had to report that he had succumbed to drug use since their last meeting. “Do you want to get off drugs?” his counselor would ask. Hearing “Yes” as an answer she would say, “Then I will be here for you until you succeed.” When he asked why she didn’t give up on him, the counselor would reply, “My job doesn’t depend on your faithfulness. It’s my job to be faithful regardless.”

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9

Recommended Reading

Psalm 51:1-6

Confession of sin is multifaceted, but there is a core principle. It is not sorrow, guilt, or shame. It is agreement. The Greek translation for “confess” is made of two words: homos means “same,” and lego means “say or speak.” So, to confess means “to say the same thing as.” As who? As God! We don’t inform God of our sins by confessing them. He already knows what we have done. Our greatest need is to humbly agree with Him: “Father, You call what I did ‘sin’ and I agree with You.”

The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Psalm 19:8

Recommended Reading

Psalm 19

Others can tell a lot about us by our eyes. If we have dark circles, we’re probably fatigued or struggling with a thyroid problem. Bloodshot eyes can indicate eyestrain or even glaucoma. If our eyes are yellowish, we may have liver disease. Puffy eyes indicate too much salt. Our moods and emotions also show up in our eyes, which are the mirrors of our souls.

The best way to keep our spiritual eyes healthy is by directing them to God’s Word. When we read and ponder the Scripture, it enlightens our eyes. To have a vibrant life in Christ is to know and obey God’s Word. The psalmist taught us to pray, “Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law” (Psalm 119:18).

Romans 12

As parents we cannot foresee all the circumstances our children will face. If we could, we would be tempted to focus in and prepare them only for those specific situations. Since we cannot see the future, our best investment is helping develop the person our child is becoming. For example, if a child develops into a person who is compassionate and courageous, they will bring these characteristics into every circumstance they encounter.
