Who can understand his errors?

I am going to be preaching a message on Psalm 19, concerning God's desire to reveal Himself to us so that we may know Him more intimately, as well as His desire to reveal us to ourselves, so that we can yield those areas of our lives that are not being daily brought under His authority.

For this morning, however, I will merely cite Psalm 19:12, because it asks a profound question and follows it with an equally powerful prayer: " Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults."

I have no intention of making this a lengthy discourse. It is a simple admonition, as it has been for myself. The Word of God tells us that the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked, so that no man can know it (Jeremiah 17:9). Thank God that HE knows our heart and that, if we will let Him, He will plainly reveal it's motives and hidden faults so that we may submit them to Him.

May our prayer, this day, include this powerful line, "Cleanse thou me from secret faults."

God Bless you, today and always.
