Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with a confession of guilt as we pick up in Isaiah chapter 64

verse six and now with today's message here's pastor chap

he is not trying to justify himself before God, which we so often do in our prayers.

Many at time in our prayers, our prayers are an attempt to explain to God why we're so rotten, to justify ourselves. Like Adam, Lord, the woman that you

gave me to be my wife. You know, that's my problem, Lord, you know, and we're trying to justify ourselves, laying the blame somewhere else.

The Bible says he that seeks to justify himself will not be cleansed but who so confesseth his sin shall be forgiven

Now if you notice in Daniel's prayer we'll get there a few months

Daniel Daniel's prayer and we'll get there in a few months.

Daniel also confessed the sin and the sin of the people. Lord, you're righteous in what you have done.

We are at fault, we are guilty God and it is important when we come to God that we come

open-faced and open-handed. God, I'm guilty and put yourself on the mercy of God rather than through your prayers trying to explain to God all of the extenuating circumstances that

God is an interest in that he's only interested in the confession.
