236. Confession (Daniel’s)

Dan_9:5-6

1. “We have sinned.” Missed the mark of God’s law.

2. “Committed iniquity.” Perverting the right.

3. “Done wickedly.” Wrought violation and brought disturbance.

4. “Rebelled.” Clenching the fist and defying God to His face.

5. “Departing from Thy precepts.” Turning aside from the right way.

6. “Departing from Thy judgments.” Ignoring the right.

7. “Not hearkened.” Not responding to His call.

In all this there had been what Daniel calls “trespass,” that is, unfaithfulness to the Lord—Dan_9:7.
