29 Remove all false ways from me;
show mercy to me by means of your Instruction.

I’m set on your rules.
31 I’m holding tight to your laws, Lord.
Please don’t let me be put to shame.

What does this passage mean to me/us
We don’t like being vulnerable. It may seem like we are weak. It may seem we can’t manage.
However, the truth is no one is exempt from being vulnerable.
After we acknowledge that we are weak and accept the fact that we can’t do it alone, that might be a perfect time to see how God works.
Today’s Psalm talks about how we should follow God’s ways through the Scripture.
The eight verses we read, emphasizes that confessing how much we need God is the best way to see God work in our lives.
“My life is stuck in the dirt.
Now make me live again according to your promise!
I confessed my ways and you answered me.
Now teach me your statutes!
Are we still afraid of being vulnerable in front of God?
Prayer
Lord, through our vulnerability, may your might work be revealed. In Christ name, AMEN.
