Psalms 36: Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all.2 In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are. 3 Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse to act wisely or do good.4 They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots.Their actions are never good.They make no attempt to turn from evil.
in honesty... sin whispers to me... does that make me really wicked? and if it does.. is anyone not wicked? as the bible says that we are born in sin... we desire to do right.. yet we do wrong anyways.. we would like to say that it is not in our power to do right.. yet I am sure that it is.. the power of Christ within us give us the ability... yet the sin whispers... calling me out by name... and daily I attempt to not answer that call...
5 Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O Lord. 7 How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.8 You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights. 9 For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.
David then goes immediately into the love of God.. which is the only thing that makes us worth anything at all.. our acts are worthless... it is His love that makes us valuable...
10 Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts.11 Don’t let the proud trample me or the wicked push me around.12 Look! Those who do evil have fallen! They are thrown down, never to rise again.
pour out your unfailing love on those who love you... please Father, pour out your love on me... enable me to pour this love out on others that I come into contact with... in Jesus name...
