Teshuvah and Transparency!!!

Psalms 27; Song of Solomon 8

We are walking in today: Teshuvah and Transparency!!!

Witness purge & purify throughout the Bible: H2892 tohar spelled tav, hey, resh--
purity, purification, purifying, clearness, lustre
&
H2891 taher spelled tav, hey, resh--clean ceremonially, to purify, be clean morally, made clean

Ezekiel 43:26 Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.
The Torah: Genesis 35:2, Exodus 24:10, Leviticus 12:6, 12:8, 14:4, 14:7, 14:11, 14:17-18, 14:20, 14:31; Numbers 8:6, 8:15, 8:21, 19:19, 31:23-24,

Malachi 3:3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi,
​ And purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the LORD an offering in righteousness.

Psalms 27:13-14
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Songs of Solomon 8:6
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals there of are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame

Why do we have such difficulty being genuinely honest with ourselves? Despite the fact that man you say that we are "sinners saved by grace" We often make excuses for our failures by rationalizing that we are not that bad, and therefore we postpone real teshuvah, return to our original, natural state. Striving to save face when the enviable must be faced.

All I can say is Yahweh is amazing. Especially when it comes to teaching--that's His way! He is like a father, a wise father that takes His time and teaches us rightly. Today's lesson on teshuvah and transparency.
The desire for many of us to keep our weakness hidden, even from ourselves as we seek to only show that person that is with cracks and stands forever strong.  When we are seeking the approval of men alone we certainly cannot be found approved by Yahweh--for being friends with the world are not able to stand fully with Him!  For those that you are purposed to walk with will not turn away from the mere cracks behind that mask but allow freedom to walk in and restore the areas of our lives that need to be address and healed.  Fiveamprayer we can no longer allow our misbehavior and wrongful actions to be our pass for mistreating others and remain in a bitterness that only serves to keep you in a forces state of harsh judgement and pain.
Yahweh reveals both the holy character of Yahweh as well as the inner conditions of our hearts, since it's imperative that we apply His instructions, we are to supply the obedience! This is the entry point if you will, because the assumption that the flesh can justify itself through its own inner determination must be shattered and broken as were the first tablets of stone. It is only after confession and the acceptance of our great need for divine deliverance, do we receive new hearts to serve Yahweh--no longer as fearful slaves, but as His redemptive children!  Selah, Shema hear, listen and consider this lesson.
