Sunday, September 27

I have sinned against Jehovah.—2 Sam. 12:13.

 

King David erred seriously. But when the prophet Nathan confronted him about his sin, David humbly repented. (Ps. 51:3, 4, 17,superscription) King Hezekiah too sinned against Jehovah. (2 Chron. 32:25) But like David, Hezekiah humbly repented. (2 Chron. 32:26) In the final analysis, Jehovah viewed him as a faithful king who “kept doing what was right.” (2 Ki. 18:3) What do we learn? We need to repent of our sins and do all we can to avoid repeating them. What if we receive counsel from congregation elders, even on a seemingly minor matter? We should not feel rejected by Jehovah or by the elders. Even the good kings of Israel were not above receiving counsel and reproof. (Heb. 12:6) When we receive correction, we should (1) respond humbly, (2) make the necessary changes, and (3) move on with our wholehearted service to Jehovah. If we repent of our sins, Jehovah will forgive us.—2 Cor. 7:9, 11.

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.
