When It's Good To Feel Guilty

Here we are before you in our guilt, though because of it not one of us can stand in your presence. (Ezra 9:15b)

When we sin we need to be as keenly aware of our guilt as Ezra was. Too often we are like the priests and the Levites who were breaking God’s commands. When Ezra was on his knees before God where were they? They weren’t even present. Lord, help me to truly understand how deeply my sins grieve you so I might truly repent.
