Did I Do That?

Some of you may be familiar with the television show Family Matters, which showcased a brainy young man by the name of Steve Urkle. Well this young man had a catch phrase that he would say whenever he would destroy of disrupt something. He would say, “did I do that?”

For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. Psalm 51:3-4

Just as small children, we too know when we have erred or sinned. We learn right from wrong at a very early age; actually it is almost instinctive when you think about it. And it is even more so when we are born again. Part of the Holy Spirit’s job is to warn us before we step outside of God’s will and into sin. It is at that moment we have a choice to make: the choice of good or evil; God or Satan. But we, who have been justified by faith, have the redemptive blood of Christ to cover our sins if and when we repent of them. But if we do not acknowledge our sin, just as David did here in Psalm 51, we cannot be forgiven and placed back in right standings with God.

Let’s not get into a habit of not confessing some of our faults when we know we should be confessing them all. But rather, let us get into the habit of pleasing our heavenly Father and walk upright before Him that His judging will be justified!
