I have been reading in the book of Psalms or more correctly I have been having them read to be by my computer. Sometimes I read along sometimes I don't. The other day I was reading Psalm 25 and I remembered of verse that jumped out at me many years ago. It was this verse "11 For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great." This verse is really staggering when you consider it and I think you're really foreshadowed grace with that were allowed after the death of Christ. David was a man after God's own heart it says in another place in the Bible. David understood God's heart and that made a connection with God the couldn't be broken. Not by David's sin which a number of times was very great in the eyes of people and God. It's very humbling to come to the Lord with the confession that I need your pardon because my sin is so great. How unlike human behavior is this? We think we have to work to gain God's pardon for David new the only way was to throw himself on God's mercy and grace. That's true today yesterday and forever!
I am having a bad eyesight day so please forgive the typos in this because the text too small for me to read and correct. Thank you again dear reader.
