Apologies to everyone for the hit and miss Bible in a Year blogging. I don’t know about you, but I go through times where I simply just don’t feel like spending the time I need to at night in God’s word… where it feels more a struggle than a joy. It’s frustrating, to say the least.
Anyway, back to Psalms today.
Psalm 38:1-4 (NIV)
1O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.2For your arrows have pierced me,
and your hand has come down upon me.3Because of your wrath there is no health in my body;
my bones have no soundness because of my sin.4My guilt has overwhelmed me
like a burden too heavy to bear.
This Psalm presents another powerful testimony of brokenness over sin, and causes me to reflect… how often am I utterly broken over my sin? Does a lack of brokenness cause me to delay seeking forgiveness? Once I do turn to God, do I really exhibit true repentance afterwards?
The bottom line, of course, is that sin is serious business, necessitating the crucifixion of our Lord.
Do we give it the weighty consideration we should?
