Every confessed sin is judged and covered by the Lord so that the devil finds nothing to accuse you of before God. Unfortunately many believers because of ignorance try in vain to cover their sins. It is better to expose your sins on earth before death, otherwise they will follow you to accuse you before God after you have passed on to the other side of eternity where no defendant will ever be acquitted.

Mary Magdalene was the first to discover the empty tomb and she promptly informed Peter and John that the Lord had been taken out of the tomb. When these two disciples ran to the tomb and confirmed that the Lord was not there, they returned to their own home. But Mary stayed back at the tomb weeping, until she eventually saw two angels in the tomb and Jesus standing behind her. Mary's persistence paid off in the end.

There is nothing that is hidden from your heavenly Father. He knows the number of the hairs of your head - that means he cares about every detail of your life. Those around you may not know or fully understand what you are going through but God does. Although his intervention may appear to be delayed, God hears your faintest cry and is working in the background to perfect all that concerns you.

David, the sweet Psalmist knew how to count his blessings. When faced with any challenge, he always remembered what God had done for him in the past, and thanked Him for it. The children of Israel in the wilderness always forgot their great deliverance from Egyptian bondage and captivity, whenever they encountered a little problem. David praised God and was victorious but the children of Israel perished in the wilderness because of murmuring and complaining. 

At salvation a sinner is translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light, where he now lives as a child of God. Every child in the kingdom of light is meant to pass through the process of transformation that takes them from childhood to sonship. This process is necessary to make us mature sons and daughters that are able to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit - Romans 8:14.
