Contemplative Bible Reading

Psalms 25:7 (New Living Translation)

Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth.
Remember me in the light of your unfailing love,
for you are merciful, O Lord.

David wrote this Psalm. He asks God for something quite selfish, but I find myself asking the same thing. David asks God to remember God’s love for him. David precedes that by asking God to forget David’s youthful, rebellious sins. Yes, quite selfish. Yes, something that I ask as well.

God is gracious, loving, and forgiving. Me? Well, like David, I’ve had bad moments and bad days. I depend on God’s grace. Every day, at least every day is my goal, I thank God for His grace. Without His grace, I’m lost.
