Everyone seems to know the concept of confessing our sins to God because He is faithful and just to forgive us and we thank God that.

 

But, how many people know the concept of confessing our righteousness to God? This concept seems to be buried underneath our sin confession. When living for God, we have a right to confess our righteousness to Him in order to have improved results for our situation (Isaiah 43:26). If you read Isaiah 38 we can see a clear picture of what confessing our righteousness can do for a person.

 

Isaiah 38:1 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”

2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, 3 “Remember, O LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah: 5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life. 6 And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria . I will defend this city.

Submitting and committing and submitting ourselves to God has its benefits for our future. What you do for God can possibly save your life.
