We so often try to put a good face on our life, at church, work and even as we come to God. I have been reading in Psalm 103 and a couple of scriptures stood out to me. Verse 14 says "he (God) knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust." Why do we not just tell God the truth, how bad things are, what we really think or feel? He knows. He knows all things and has it all under control. Verse 10 says that "He does not deal with us according to our sins." Thankfully God shows us mercy. Mercy is not getting what we deserve. We deserve death, not eternal life. We receive righteousness and peace because of Jesus.
We need to learn to trust in God and believe that honesty is truly the best policy. We as Christians should learn to come boldly to the throne of grace. Be honest, be open and trust completely in our gracious Lord!
