Daily Bible Reading: Genesis 4, 5, 6; Psalm 2, 32, 62, 92, 122; Proverbs 2
“For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.” Psalm 32:6
This refers back to verse five and possibly verses 1-5. This is a prayer of confession of sin (I John 1:9). The only time God cannot be found, so to speak, is the times that sin blocks our fellowship with Him. God loves to hear and answer the prayers of the “godly” (those in a right relationship to or with Him). It is like the incenses of the Old Testament burning upon the altar. Our prayers are a sweet smell or odor to God. How does your prayer life “smell” today? Is it a sweet smell or a stench?
Confession keeps us in a place of fellowship with God. Sin breaks that fellowship and also the lines of communication. What a good shower is to our body so is a prayer of confession to our soul.
