Contemplative Bible Reading

Psalm 19: 12-13 (New Living Translation)

12 How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?
Cleanse me from these hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant from deliberate sins!
Don’t let them control me.
Then I will be free of guilt
and innocent of great sin.

The writer is praying. I am only human and not all knowing. I don’t know what I am doing most of the time. Please God, help me with my faults.

I cannot be God. I cannot be completely free from sin. Thank you for your grace that cleanses me. Help me to live righteously.

Okay, maybe I can contemplate these few lines for another day or year. Then, perhaps, I will understand more. For now, please God, help me in my unbelief.
