Liberating Gospels
Freedom from Sin
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
Psalm 130 The VoiceA song for those journeying to worship.1 From the depths of disaster I appeal to You, O Eternal One:
2 Lord, hear my cry!
Attune Your ears to my humble prayer! 3 If You, Eternal One, recorded each offense,
Lord, who on earth could stand innocent?
4 But with You forgiveness exists;
that’s why true respect of You might flow. 5 So I wait for the Eternal—my soul awaits rescue—
and I put my hope in His transforming word.
6 My soul waits for the Lord to break into the world
more than night watchmen expect the break of day,
even more than night watchmen expect the break of day. 7 O Israel, ground your hope in the Eternal.
For in the Eternal lives the most loyal love,
and with Him comes the most abundant redemption.
8 He will ransom Israel
from all the sinful acts that stole you away. For ReflectionWe all have suffered. Some more than others. Here the psalmist cries out of deep despair. Grief, depression, illness, poverty, and abuse can plunge us into a deep darkness that can feel almost like death.
But the psalmist cries not out of abandonment but great pain. Nevertheless, he calls with the expectation and hopes that redemption and peace will follow.
As we see people worldwide suffer horribly, we pray with them that redemption and peace will deliver them from their suffering. PrayPray, and let the Holy Spirit guide your life. Pray, for those who suffer at the hands of those that know no love. Pray for those who suffer from catastrophic separation from the eternal God, trapped inside one's worst version of themselves. Pray for those who are driven by greed, cruelty, and violence.
