A Sin Review

"Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!" - Psalm 25:7

David remembers all too well the sins of his youth - as well as more recent ones! And yet he comes to God with a bold request:"Remember not the sins of my youth." Do you know what he's talking about? He's talking here about sins of ignorance, the sins of youthful arrogance. "I didn't know any better." Or, "I thought I knew better!" Does that ring bells for you? Did you do some stupid stuff when you were young? The older I get, the more I realize how little I knew when I knew it all. The sins of my youth - now those are some haunting problems from the past: "I was ignorant. I was foolish. I was immature - Lord, choose not to remember these things."

But notice the second phrase: ". . . or my transgressions." Some translations say "my rebellious ways." It means my willful acts; not just my youthful foolishness, but the times in my life, God, when I knew the right and I chose the wrong. I knew that my attitude was wrong, but I chose that bitterness anyway. I knew that my values were wrong, but I chose to be selfish. I knew that that pleasure was forbidden by You, but I consumed it for myself. As we draw near to God, we have a sense of His holiness.

Sometimes it's not easy to be in the hot seat. If we're going to really connect with the life of trust, the barrier is sin. "Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God,"Isaiah 59:2 says. "Your sins have hidden his face from you."One of the reasons why people trust God so little is because trusting God requires dealing with sin. "Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!" "I don't deserve to be riding along here with You. I don't deserve to be in this life of trust and faith, but I acknowledge my sin. And I claim Your mercy."

ONE WORD: AMEN.

The Book of Tomorrow.

I wish there was such a book as my title reads. Then, I could prepare myself for whatis ahead of me. But then again, it'd wouldn't be a surprise anymore. It's such a breathtaking book full of surprises but towards the ending, it got a little sappy and predictable. Haha.

Anyways, college is starting in 3 more days. Boohoo. I can't believe I'm going back to books and loooonngg hours in college again. And not forgetting the frequent tests and exams. SIGH! But despite all that I'm always reminded by the Holy Spirit that "This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in Him". Ain't that an awesome motivation? Whatever has happen, or will happen, let us rejoice and accept the reality of it because after all, it's part of His AMAZING plan for our lives. :)

I realise that I'm a pretty quiet person when I'm around with people. And during those times, I'm always thinking about stuffs. I miss writing in my diary but I just find it easier to type it out instead of holding a pen because of the amount of thoughts I have in my head. It's hard for my hand to keep up sometimes. Lol.

Oo oo by the way, anyone of ya'll been watching football? Well, I have! Surprise, surprise. Haha. I didn't think it would be this kan chiong and interesting to watch except for the parts where the players kick the ball out - I feel it just kills time. OKLA, I'm very the tired now so I'm gonna go. Till next time, peeps, I'll blog again. God bless and have a SUPERB day. :)
