The Freedom of Confession: Nehemiah 9:1-27

The response of hearing God's Word did not end with emotion and celebration. Some days later theye opened God's Book again and it resulted in congregational and individual confession. Their hearts were rendered bare by the power of the Word as it exposed the wrongs of the heart or, as Hebrews 4:12 states, "it judged the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Ever thougth about the cleansing and freeing act of confession? I mean really coming clean before God and making things right and squaring things with Him and others. Nehemiah 9 makes clcear there is power in confession.
