Summer with the Psalms

Thursday 25th June Psalm 25

“O Lord, I give my life to you. I trust in you, my God! Do not let me be disgraced, or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat. No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others. Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past. Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O Lord. The Lord is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands. For the honor of your name, O Lord, forgive my many, many sins. Who are those who fear the Lord? He will show them the path they should choose. They will live in prosperity, and their children will inherit the land. The Lord is a friend to those who fear him. He teaches them his covenant. My eyes are always on the Lord, for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies. Turn to me and have mercy, for I am alone and in deep distress. My problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all! Feel my pain and see my trouble. Forgive all my sins. See how many enemies I have and how viciously they hate me! Protect me! Rescue my life from them! Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge. May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you. O God, ransom Israel from all its troubles.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭25‬:‭1‬-‭22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Pastor Tim’s Reflection

We may all have some part of our lives which we hide, but God wants to redeem our guilt and shame so that we may have integrity and honesty. Yes, we all have things which we are not proud of and may seek forgiveness from, but what can we do about it? How can we respond?

Todays Psalmist is seeking to find confession as a way of integrity and honesty with our Lord. That even when he is not being honest he can come to the Lord to overcome his weakness. Gods strength is made perfect in our weakness.

We can overcome our difficulties if we tell God and do not hide like Adam and Eve. God sees all things, knows all things and wants to redeem all things. So don’t hide FROM God, hide IN God and go to him in your time of distress and need. Praise Jesus that he died for us to have salvation from our sins and save our souls!

Prayer

Father God please go before us, behind us and with us. Heal us, wash us and cleanse us of ourselves. Help us to be more like you and to have honesty and integrity in all we do in Jesus name. Thank you Jesus! Amen

So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.”

‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:26‬ ‭NLT‬‬
