The person who is trapped in secret sin lives a double life. He appears to be a godly man, a faithful husband and father, but in secret he is something else entirely. Now it is not just his sin that traps him, but his reputation as well. By pretending to have it altogether, he cuts himself off from the help he so desperately needs.
“When I kept silent…your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.”
— Psalm 32:3-4
Lord Jesus, pride tempts us to pretend we are something we are not. Deliver us from our “spiritual reputation” so we can experience the freedom that comes through honest confession and forgiveness. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
