NIV Psalm 19:12 How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. 13Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin.
We can sin in two ways:
(v. 12) Hidden Sins: we may sin without realizing it because we have not yet learned or been convicted of it (human err).
(v. 13) Blatant Sins: when we knowingly do what is wrong we are rebelling. Continually doing this separates us from God (although He is always there waiting for us to repent and commit ourselves to Him).
We open ourselves to God’s authority, ask forgiveness for those hidden sins, admit when we miss the mark for known sins, pray that God keeps us from these rebellious sins, and take action to not allow ourselves to fall into the same sins (Ephesians 4:22-24). Praise God for the opportunity to get it right!!
