253 Psalms 065 – 067; 1 Timothy 005
How do you like this statement, "We all arrive at your doorstep sooner or later, loaded with guilt, Our sins too much for us-- but you get rid of them once and for all." Sooner or later we all will sin, but God's mercy is greater than our sin. Do you need to confess something to the Lord? He is merciful and abundant in forgiveness.
In the last paragraph of the last Psalm, David prays an interesting prayer by asking this, "God, mark us with grace and blessing! Smile!" May God mark us with His grace so much that it shines through our hearts, hands, and eyes. Smile, and let people know that the joy of the Lord is your strength.
Paul tells Timothy some of the best Godly advice you or I will ever hear when he says, "In any event, keep a close check on yourself." Paul is telling Timothy how to deal with a person that has fallen into sin or has jumped into sin, but then places those words write in the middle of his instructions. We are never to forget that we can end up just like the person we are trying to help. Guard your heart against the evil one and recruit some friends to help you protect your heart against sin. Living a holy life is a team sport.
