Nehemiah 9:1-3 In Nehemiah’s day, the children of Israel did something that is seldom is heard today – they confessed their sins to God.  Yet in their confession, they did not attempt to apportion blame to another, but rather, they owned responsibility for their sin and ascribe greatness to God in His chastening hand of judgment!!  The true mark of sincere and genuine confession is the absence of excuses and if the bedrock of confession is faulty, then repentance upon which it rests will also be faulty and no true fruit will follow.  May God help us to get a hold on the heart of true confession, that we might return again to Him in true repentance.
