Psalm 32, 51, 86, 122
David proclaims that his sin is always before him, and that he has sinned against God and Him alone. He also asks God to create a pure heart within him. These words speak to me personally. For, I know my sins full well! God grieves when we sin, even while the world glories in those same sins. And then, there are the secret sins of the heart, those unseen or heard. Yet, God does see and hear! We can never hide from Him. Try as we may, we continue to sin. Even though we are redeemed, we still have sin in our lives. We are powerless to bring about a change of heart, for we are living in a fallen state. Our only hope is in God. Only He can create a new heart within us. It is only with His help that we are able to overcome sin's devastating impact and influence upon our lives. Through God's forgiveness and grace we are able to enjoy the vastness of His glories, even while still being encumbered in this corruptible body. Praise be to God for His incomparable riches found only in Christ Jesus, our Lord!
