Our Reaction to Sin – Proverbs 28:13

Should renounce it – Proverbs 28:13
Whoever conceals their sins  does not prosper,
 but the one who confesses  and renounces them finds mercy.

Should master it – Gen. 4:7
If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door;  it desires to have you, but you must rule over it. ”

Mourn over it – James 4:8-9
Come near to God and he will come near to you.  Wash your hands,  you sinners, and purify your hearts,  you double-minded.    Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.

Questions in Amos

6:12
Do horses run on the rocky crags?
 Does one plow the sea with oxen?
 But you have turned justice into poison
 and the fruit of righteousness  into bitterness —

6:13
you who rejoice in the conquest of Lo Debar
 and say, “Did we not take Karnaim by our own strength? ”

7:2
When they had stripped the land clean,  I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, forgive! How can Jacob survive?  He is so small! ”

Psalm 5:11

“But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them that those who love your name may rejoice in you.”

Our hope is in the LORD! He is the basis of our security and the reason for our joyful songs! He is our protection and hope! He is the reason we rejoice!
