Sin destroys, and the Holy Spirit will always convict us through our conscience to know when we are wrong. I love how David is so pure and open here in Psalm 38. He cries out to the Lord seeking forgiveness for his transgressions. Now, I am not a perfect man and many times I fail and fall in my words, actions, thoughts and disobedience. This whole weekend we saw how uncomprehensible God’s grace and love is. Looking at Jesus again carrying my sin and my burden to the cross so I can have everlasting life and be free from conviction and sin, and I am speechless. I can relate to David in verse 4 “My guilt overwhelms me - it is a burden too heavy to bear”. In the same thought we know that Jesus came to take that burden away and it is merely the lies of the enemy that overwhelms us. Yes, our enemy(ies) seek to destroy us, and this world is broken and lost, and the name Jesus is frowned upon because of this. Yet in the last days many will return to Jesus, and I believe we are in the last days. Thus, it is even more important that we reach out to everyone around us and tell the gospel and live the gospel. David writes in verse 21 and 22 “Do not abandon me, O LORD. Do not stand at a distance, my God. Come quickly to help me, O Lord my saviour”. Jesus is not at a distance, in fact He is right there with you. He knows your pain, problems, difficulties and challenges and He will come to help you. Trust in the Lord, His time, His will and His process for it will all come to pass and the meek shall inherit the world. You are more because He is more. Have an awesome day, my friend.
