Psalm 32 Devotion: Confession and Repentance

1 John 1:9 says “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”  This is not merely a one and done, once for all, repentance of sin.  We call this justification, and it is important in the life of the Christian.

Psalm 28 Devotion: Mercy and Grace

The psalm appeals in verses 3-5 of this psalm to God’s justice for the wicked.  We all have an internal sense of what might be just.  Along with David, we might ask God for the wicked to be repaid for their deeds and receive the punishment they deserve.  But, when it comes to us, we ask for mercy we don’t deserve.  Isn’t that ironic?

Psalm 26 Devotion: A Blameless Life

What do we know about David?  We know he was not allowed to build the Lord’s temple because he had too much blood on his hands.  We know he went to war a lot.  We know he had an affair with Bathsheba, and he had Uriah killed.  He lied.  He succumbed to temptation.  He abused his power.  David did not really live a blameless life either, did he?
