Rebellion

1 Be gracious to me, God,
according to your faithful love;
according to your abundant compassion,
blot out my rebellion. (Psalm 51:1 CSB)

I have a rebellious nature. It kinda runs in the family.

My ancestry has been traced by my uncle all the way back to the Vikings on my fathers side. Sam Bass the notorious Texas train robber is on my mothers side.

This too extends to my faith life and I am just glad that our God is a god of faithful love and abundant compassion.

It is too often that I must ask Him to blot out my rebellion. That I must pray again for forgiveness for wilfull sins.

But this is our sin nature that we must battle throughout this life. Thank you God for showing faithful love and abundant compassion.
