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

In my youth, from ignorance and arrogance, I shunned God, even bore false witness against His holy name. I had practiced various religious creeds and in the end, turned away from all organized religion, convinced that if God ever was, he had certainly died and left us to fend for ourselves. Sadly, I openly shared my erroneous views with those I called friends.

If anyone deserves the wrath of God, it's me. Rather, He is faithful to forgive us and leads us onto the path of righteousness. Now I pray for all those I led astray, that they would hear and receive the gospel of salvation.

When we consider the amazing love of God, we are compelled to drop to our knees and worship Him! Will you, in this quiet moment alone with Him, where no one sees but God on His throne, get on your knees, lift your hands to heaven and sing sweet praises to our King?

O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. For You are merciful and full of love and compassion for your people. Receive our love and worship, hear our praises offered from our hearts. Would our worship songs be joined with choirs of angels, a sweet sound in Your ear, to glorify You in heaven. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
