Response to Redemption

4/2/11                      Exodus 37-38; Psalm 19; Acts 11               

S: Psalm 19:12-14 How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

O: David started this psalm with the wonder of God’s creation and His Word. Then he brings the focus on his own response – to live such a life in response to what God has done.

A: I struggle with sin almost every day, so David’s prayer is appropriate for me as well.

P: Cleanse me from these hidden faults. Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
