I wasn’t sure what to read this morning and I kind of fell into this Psalm.
The main message is this: With God there is forgiveness for sin.
I woke up from a dream where I was suddenly reminded of a failure, a broken relationship and a broken heart. What do we do with our failures? Just walk away? Forget them and move on? But they follow us. Like ghosts they pop up unexpected, unannounced, definitively unwanted. To whom shall we go? How can we sever the cords and chains that bind us to our past?
“Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord; Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.
If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness,so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.
I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.
He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.
