If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

Psa 130:1 'Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
Psa 130:2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
Psa 130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
Psa 130:4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
Psa 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
Psa 130:6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.'


No one could stand if our sins were marked by the Lord and never forgiven...no one could stand, not a single person who lives or ever lived. Yes, God has His beloved, His chosen yet even they would not be able to stand if the Lord did not forgive their sins. The chosen of God didn't have a free pass over life's temptations. Putting the chosen on pedestals isn't what God would want. God wants us to understand that He is a forgiving God, a loving God, a God that is exacting in that He will never condone sin, but He will forgive our weakness, our failings, our sins. God wants us to trust Him, not to trust in ourselves. God wants us to acknowledge Him as Lord of our lives, as our Creator, our Redeemer. Every breath we breathe is because God allows us to do so. We are not our own. Even when we show the greatest weakness and overcome that weakness we can't claim victory- it's God's victory. God has to really live in us.


Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory


Christ in us- the HOPE of glory!


1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.


GREATER is HE that is in you!


1Jn 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.


LET that therefore abide in you--- which ye have heard from the beginning.
If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you...
ye shall continue IN THE SON and IN THE FATHER!


Phm 1:6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.


Every good thing which is IN YOU IN CHRIST JESUS!


Psa 130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
Psa 130:4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.


There is forgiveness with God, and God will be revered for He and He alone offers forgiveness of our sins not marking them to hold them against us but forgiving us as we repent and ask for forgiveness letting the blood of Christ cover our sins and finally blotting them out altogether.


By the grace and mercy of God let us be found fully in Him and He in us as we claim His righteousness, His forgiveness, His love and don't rely on ourselves. Everything in God! All praise and honor, all glory to God now and forever!!!


Amen.
