Today’s passage: Psalm 130
Helpful thoughts:
- When we know we have sinned, we can cry out to and wait for the Lord with eager anticipation!
- God is merciful, forgiving, he loves us with a steadfast love, and He is our Redeemer.
- When rightly appreciated, these truths draw us to God and toward a pursuit of pleasing Him in righteousness.
Questions to consider:
- How can this psalm encourage you to confess your sin to God and ask His forgiveness? Why is it important we do that?
- Why does the forgiveness of God cause us to fear Him more (Verse 4)? The fact that God has to forgive us and is willing to forgive us teaches us what about Him, about us, and about our relationship with Him?
- What was the cost which was paid so that we could enjoy this forgiveness and fellowship with our holy God? How do we know to long for and hope in Christ as we read verses 7-8 from our perspective in the church age?
