Psalm 25, 29, 33, 36, 39
"My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought, my sin, not in part but the whole, is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Oh, my soul!" The words of this hymn come thundering through as I read today's selection. My sin is great, but not nearly so great as His grace! There is hardly a day that goes by that doesn't find me praising the Lord for His forgiveness and reconciliation. And, then to top it off, He has placed me in His kingdom where I can enjoy all the freedom heaven can offer! My life in Christ so far surpasses any joy or happiness I did, or could have, ever experienced outside of Him. I didn't understand that before I was saved. Instead of looking to biblical examples, like David, I only saw the misguided examples of some Christians who had not yet embraced the freedom and joy of the Lord that comes through His experiential grace. I now know, and live joyfully, in that grace. Praise the Lord!
