Reading with the Pastor
Proverbs 29, Hebrews 7, and Psalm 59 and Psalm 25
Read Psalm 25
For your name’s sake, O Lord,
. pardon my guilt, for it is great. (Psalm 25:11)
An awareness of sin. When I am aware of my sin, when I know my sin is great, I am in a critical juncture. With awareness comes choice. Will I repent and forsake, asking for forgiveness and restoration or will I hide, ignore, and hold on to the sin crouching at my soul to devour me?
So much hinges on the consciousness of sin.
Without it, the heart stays . . .
- independent,
- self-satisfied,
- self-righteous,
- unappreciative,
- disconnected from God,
- unenlightened to truth,
- unaware of its need,
- dispassionate about holiness.
But with an awareness of sin, the corruption that crouches to destroy us can be defeated by a God who is for us. I have to teach my soul to to remember this truth.
Turn, O God
Turn, O God.
Turn to me.
Guard my soul and deliver me.
I see my sin.
I see how I have loved it.
Teach me to hate it.
And help me to run from it
To You.
cf. verses 14, 20-22
Go to Psalm 26
