"Pardon...Instruct..."

“Pardon...Instruct…”

Blessings folk!

The Psalmist seeks forgiveness.

Psalm 25:11-13
11 For Your name’s sake, O LORD,
Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12 Who is the man who fears the LORD?
He will instruct him in the way he should choose.
13 His soul will abide in prosperity,
And his descendants will inherit the land.

The Psalmist acknowledges that his iniquity...his sin...is great.
Only the Lord can pardon.
Only in His grace and mercy.

Look at what the Lord does for the one who fears Him.

  • The Lord will instruct him in the way he should choose. He will guide him. He will bring revelation, enlightenment, illumination, understanding.
  • The one who fears the Lord will have a soul that abides in prosperity. Sadly, believers often only think of monetary gain as prosperity. Peace, satisfaction, joy, etc. is the prosperity of the soul.
  • The descendants of those who fear the Lord will inherit the land...the land promised. The promises of Covenant.

Therefore, fear the Lord.
Trust in the Lord.
Seek His forgiveness.
Live in His peace and prosperity.
