Psalms For Psalms- Day 38

 Sin. 

It festers. It grows on the inside and manifests all sorts of hell to the rest of the body and the world. 

Why do I know this? Well, I am the chief of sinners. But God, in His great kindness, made a way for me despite my sin. 

Psalms 38 reminds me of Romans 7:18, “For I know that there is nothing good in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.”

Pride says that we can muscle it out and do life on our own. But as believers we know that this is simply not true. We cannot do it on our own. 

And that is the beauty of our faith. We don’t have to. God so graciously gave us His son to die for us and put the Holy Spirit in our hearts to convict us of sin and lead us to righteousness.

Thank you God for the Holy Spirit. Thank you for being a God who gets angry at sin and pursues us all the while. Help us run after You and not race this life by ourselves. 

Psalms 38- Rescue Me God

My sin lays heavy on my heart
A boulder crushing my soul
Foolishness abounds in my life
I cannot get out of this hole

My cries are not hidden from You
God, You see my unending pain
My strength has indeed gone out
I’ve lost everything I’ve gained

Rescue me God, bring your rope
Pull me out of the mire
Lead me back into Your arms
Would You be all I desire 

Stir my heart to repent God
I know what is right and true
Convict me of my hurtful sin
Until my heart is fixed to You
