Who is God like? Vv. 1-3 God not only saved sinners, but also covered all their sins. If God searches out our every iniquity, can we continue to live? It is such a relief that God forgives my sin and turns his fierce anger to me (v. 3). Do you remember any recent sin?
What lesson is God teaching me? V. 8 If we don’t want to return to a foolish life, we should obey and listen to God’s Word. God promises peace to those people. Do you meditate every morning and enjoy this grace?
V. 9 Who is near salvation? Fear is to love and respect God and listen to God’s Word (v. 8), and to lift up his will according to righteousness and truth (vv. 10-13). Am I far from the way of salvation? (cf. Heb. 6:9)
Vv. 10-13 The psalmist trusts God’s goodness to give us salvation and so could sing about the beautiful kingdom of God. This is the glory to be tasted by those who are saved in Christ. Why don’t you praise the Lord with this hope this morning?
Please do not let me go the way of foolishness, but do as the Word of God teaches.
