Psalm 25:7-8 and 25:15
What:
7 Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to Your love remember me, for You are good, O Lord.
8 Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore He instructs sinners in His ways.
Apply:
1) In our youth we must learn right from wrong, it doesn't come to us naturally. Children are born amoral and must be taught how to think, act, and live.
2) David prays to God: don't remember my sins and rebellion, remember me according to Your love. For those loved by God, He remembers them according to His love not according to their sins. That is how we can face the day with confidence; it has nothing to do with us, but rather everything to do with God. (hence: His love, not our sins)
What:
15 My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only He will release my feet from the snare.
Apply:
Romans 3:23 says that we're all short of God's glory because of the sins we've committed. The snare, in this case, is sin which only God can free us from. So, David says to keep our eyes on God when we seem to be snared, so that He Who Is Able can set us free! If we focus on the snare, we will be wrapped up in its cords and be drug down, hurting our relationship with the Living God. Our focus must be on Christ, even when our only desire is that of Adam's, to hide ourselves (Genesis 3:10) in the vain hope God won't see, so that we who are redeemed are not submitted to anything or anyone other than God.
I haven't kept this blog post up as I had wished, so here's an entry and I'll try and get at least one or two up each week. 1 John 2:6, 2 Timothy 2:2. - Nils
