S - 1 John 1: 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
O - Everyone is a sinner and is in need of confessing their sins.
A - As much as I'd like to say that I'm not a sinner, I sin daily and am in need of confessing these sins as He has promised to forgive these. To pretend that I am perfect makes me a liar and the second part of verse 10 says that His word is not in me. This doesn't give me the right to do whatever I want to do because I now have a "get out of jail free" card with confessing my sins and receiving forgiveness. Instead, He tells us to be holy as He is holy. I can only do this with God's help though and I need to continually strive to attain this and be the example to my children and my wife.
P - Heavenly Father, Please forgive me for the sins that I commit daily. Help me to reach for holiness and to be more like you. I want to be the example for my family so that they can have a tangible representation of you in me. I love you and want to hear your voice daily. Fill my life and my heart!
