Order my steps
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
One reason people don't admit, apologize or repent from doing wrong is because they aren't seeking the kingdom of God, and his righteousness. They are looking inward toward their own self-righteousness. And when the kingdom of self rules, spiritual change does not happen.
When self-imposed iniquity has dominion over your life, true happiness is gone. The road to change is allowing the word of God to bring order back to your life.
Psalm 119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
