May 5 - I know – Psalm 51:3-4 David does not in these verses claim ignorance of what he had done. Many times people fail to claim responsibility for what they have done. Today we blame, family, society, background as excuses of why we are the way we are or why we do what we do. Even modern counselling makes excuses for our sinful ways. David did none of that. He knew he had sinned against God and himself. His sin was right before him. The way to deal with sin is confess it, renounce it and receive God`s forgiveness. You may blame someone else but you cannot fool God because he knows your hearts and everything you do. David knew he could not hide his sin and God was justified in how he dealt with that sin. Now David received mercy but there were consequences to what he had done. Today when you sin get rid of it as soon as possible. Keep short account with God. Receive his forgiveness and start again.

  

May 5 - I know – Psalm 51:3-4

 

     David does not in these verses claim ignorance of what he had done.  Many times people fail to claim responsibility for what they have done.  Today we blame, family, society, background as excuses of why we are the way we are or why we do what we do.  Even modern counselling makes excuses for our sinful ways.  David did none of that.  He knew he had sinned against God and himself.  His sin was right before him.  The way to deal with sin is confess it, renounce it and receive God`s forgiveness.  You may blame someone else but you cannot fool God because he knows your hearts and everything you do.

     David knew he could not hide his sin and God was justified in how he dealt with that sin.  Now David received mercy but there were consequences to what he had done.  Today when you sin get rid of it as soon as possible.  Keep short account with God.  Receive his forgiveness and start again.
