Psalm 103:10
he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities
Thought1:God’s character is not based on our nature
Here we see an unchanging God who does not treat us as our sins deserve…just imagine,how true is this!!The mankind is filled with evil and sin but also see that God is still letting the earth to “spin in its axis”.The sun is rising and setting…rains come and go..technological advancements.All these are God’s gifts that keep on coming to man.Even seeing ourselves,are we really worthy of all the blessings we enjoy??Our private sins,nagging thoughts,murmuring,grumbling,complaining…YES He does not treat us as our sins deserve,He is also not repaying us according to our iniquities…What an unchanging God we have whose character is not based on our “Sinful” nature.
Thought2:Our nature should change according to His character
The psalmist as he is thinking doesn’t want to remain in this realm,he wants to tread on new heights.as we keep reading the psalm we can get that.Child of God,we have sins we have our iniquities.But also remember that we need to renew our selves daily,as the sun rises we need to get new mercies of Him,ur heart and mind whould be renewed,our thoughts,acts,deeds should get confirmed to Him.Lets walk in the Spirit.
He is a loving God and He doesn’t deserve the “sin” treatment we give Him…lets come with a broken heart,contrite Spirit..to the cross and ask Him for His mercy…
Introspection
1)What are those personal sins in your life that must have grieved Him???
2)Are you willing to let go of these and come closer to HIM???
Application
1)Fight against those sins and iniquities which the Spirit is reminding you of….through prayer ,place it before the cross and ask Jesus to cleanse you with His precious Holy Blood and fill you again with His power
2)Sing those songs which you get reminded of …….songs like “create in me a clean heart”,”change my heart o God”..meaning every word you sing
