Leviticus 15 & 16, Mark 13: 32-37, Mark 14: 1-16, Psalm 39
Psalm 39: 7-8 (ESV)
“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you. Deliver
me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the scorn of the fool!”
In verses 7 and 8 from Psalm 39, we read about David putting
his hope and expectation in God and not on himself. David has hope in God and
looks to God to deliver him from his transgressions, and not himself. David
understands that only God can deliver us from our sins. Many Biblical scholars
believe that this psalm was written by David in the last years of his life when
he was feeling the frailty of his life. I love the faith of David in this psalm.
Even during the ending years of his life, David’s faith in God was unshakeable.
David always relied on God for everything. He knew that God was the only person
who could save him from the bad things he had done in his life. David’s ego
never got the best of him, and he always seemed to know that only God could
deliver him. I love these verses because they remind me that God is the only
one who can deliver me from sins, and my hope needs to only be in God and not
on myself.
