Dealing with Sin: Acknowledgement

For I am conscious of my rebellion, and my sin is always before me.
Psalms 51:3 (HCSB)

How do we deal with sin?  For most of us, at least when we are living out of our flesh rather than the Spirit, will try to ignore or excuse sin.  We learn from King David in Psalm 51 that what we need to do is acknowledge our sin.  David called sin what it is sin.  He said I know of "my rebellion."  That's where its at isn't it?  We must recognize that no matter what word we use to describe it, it is a rebellion against the Lord.
