WHEN WE ERR

THE SEED

“LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.” Psalms 6:1 NIV

When we find ourselves in wrongdoings as Christians, the wisest thing to do is to ask for mercy, it’s not a time to rationalise or justify our mistakes before God. This will only give the devil a foothold to keep us from receiving the mercy of God. It is the mercy of God through Jesus Christ that can save us from being judged mercilessly. The opening verse of Psalm 6 echoes a heartfelt plea for God’s mercy and understanding. It’s a reminder that in times of struggle and sin, we can turn to the Lord with a humble heart. In our lives, we may sometimes feel the weight of our wrongdoings. We might fear divine discipline, but let us remember that our God is a loving Father. He disciplines us not out of anger but out of love.

So, when we pray Psalm 6:1, we seek God’s mercy, understanding that His discipline aims to correct us and bring us back into His loving embrace. Let us approach God with open hearts, acknowledging our imperfections and trusting in His boundless love and grace. He is a God of forgiveness and restoration. In our humility and repentance, we find the assurance that His discipline leads us to a closer and more intimate walk with Him.
