What To Do When You Are Sorry For Your Actions

2/22/2023

Gen. 6:6-8 -The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 The LORD said, " I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them." 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.  NASU
​
  • God Was Sorry For His Actions
In the text above we can see that God was sorry about creating mankind. He was sorry about His actions to the point that He was grieved in His heart (the Biblical heart is the mind).
  • God's Plan Was To Start Over
He was going to blot out man whom He created (vs.7). When I was reading this text I thought this is exactly what we need to do once we realize we have done something and we are sorry for our actions. We need to start over again. Once we have done what we are sorry for put it behind you and move forward. Start a Fresh!

Are you able to mentally accomplish this type of forgetting?
  • 1st Make A Confession
We need to make a confession that we are sorry for what we have done. This is a confession that comes from the heart. God was grieved in His heart because of His actions.

When your heart is grieving because of what you have done, own it. Openly confess to those who are your friends. Confess it to anyone who will listen. If no one will listen confess to God because He is always listening.

Let Him know you feel like He did after creation of mankind, sorry for that which you have done.
  • 2nd Start A Fresh
God was going to blot out the people that He had made and start a fresh. You and I need to blot out the memories of what we did that we are sorry for. This is going to be harder to do than you realize but you must stop thinking about the action that is causing you the sorrow.

This is known as "stinking thinking" when all you do is think about that which you can't change.

They say that when a quarterback throws an interception that he must forget about it. He must put it behind him and get himself mentally ready to come back out on that field again and play like it never happened.
  • 3rd Look For The Person Who Is Different
Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. Noah was different than all the other people around him. He was a believer. He trusted in God. He listened to God and joined in the plan that God was going to initiate.

God was going to start over and His plan included Noah.

Sometimes we need to start over and start over with new people. These new people will be people willing to listen to God's Word.

Noah listened to God and found himself building an ark which I am sure looked like a fairly crazy thing to be doing.

When you partner with God you may find yourself doing some outlandish things, but partner with Him anyways. It will be the best thing you have ever done.

Think About These: 

There are two kinds of fools: those who can't change their opinions and those who won't.

We should forgive and then forget what we have forgiven.

Stay Pumped,
