“Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight…
that You may be found just when You speak, and blameless when You judge.”
(Psalm 51:4)
One thing we all must face in life and that is that all sin is ultimately committed against Almighty God…our holy and sinless Father. Though murder and adultery are perhaps the most treacherous and direct sins upon mankind, directly harming both the individual and families, David feels the effect of his sin on God. He always hurts the most when we choose to sin.
It is our sinful nature…our want to sin that caused God to send His Son to earth in the flesh to give His life as a sacrifice for our sin. Imagine the pain caused when He witnesses our continued sin! There is no hidden sin, no private offense, and no covered-up crime when it comes to God, our all-knowing, ever-present, and all-powerful God. All sin is committed in full view of God!
Thank God for Jesus however, because we can be blameless in God’s sight by the blood He shed on the cross! David experienced God’s forgiveness though prayer and sacrifices. We can too, but now through the one complete and perfect sacrifice of the Cross of Christ. The more we realize our helplessness before our Holy God, the more we embrace the cross! It’s only through the shed blood of Christ that we can be in communion with our Father!
Against You and You only do I sin Daddy. I’m so sorry…so grieved…so upset that I bring You pain time and time again. Help me to take it personally as Jesus did and live for Your will and surrender my very soul for Your glory! Let the Cross be my guide and my motivation.
