Psalms 6, 8-10, 14, 16, 19, 21 & 1 Chronicles 1-2 / April 21 & 22 (Day 112 & 113)

I like how David praises God’s faithfulness in Psalms 6:8 & 9 by saying, “Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. The LORD has heard my supplication; The LORD will receive my prayer.” He had been weeping, but there was faith in David to know God heard it!

Psalms 10:4 says, “The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.” It is the prideful that don’t seek God; the humble seek Him.

Psalms 19:12-14 says, “Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults.  13)  Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be innocent of great transgression.  14)  Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.”

• “Secret faults” (verse 12): These aren’t faults that David is trying to keep secret from others, but faults in himself that he doesn’t realize yet.
• “Presumptuous sins” (verse 13): These are sin’s that are committed when we presume we are doing what is right, but it isn’t in the sight of God. Proverbs 14:12 says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”
