TODAY’S SCRIPTURE


We think that “shame” and “conviction” are two similar concepts, but they are actually very different in definition. “Shame” is a feeling of defeat and embarrassment foisted upon you by Satan, in order to discourage you and drive you away from God. “Conviction” is a feeling of grief and regret, given to you by the Holy Spirit, in order to bring you to God. According to Psalm 25, our Bible passage for today, you can be delivered from shame through trust in the Lord. So, pray and praise the Lord for your freedom in Christ as you read!

 

Of David.

1 In you, Lord my God,

I put my trust.


2 I trust in you;

do not let me be put to shame,

nor let my enemies triumph over me.

3 No one who hopes in you

will ever be put to shame,

but shame will come on those

who are treacherous without cause.


4 Show me your ways, Lord,

teach me your paths.

5 Guide me in your truth and teach me,

for you are God my Savior,

and my hope is in you all day long.

6 Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,

for they are from of old.

7 Do not remember the sins of my youth

and my rebellious ways;

according to your love remember me,

for you, Lord, are good.


8 Good and upright is the Lord;

therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

9 He guides the humble in what is right

and teaches them his way.

10 All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful

toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.

11 For the sake of your name, Lord,

forgive my iniquity, though it is great.


12 Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?

He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.

13 They will spend their days in prosperity,

and their descendants will inherit the land.

14 The Lord confides in those who fear him;

he makes his covenant known to them.

15 My eyes are ever on the Lord,

for only he will release my feet from the snare.


16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,

for I am lonely and afflicted.

17 Relieve the troubles of my heart

and free me from my anguish.

18 Look on my affliction and my distress

and take away all my sins.

19 See how numerous are my enemies

and how fiercely they hate me!


20 Guard my life and rescue me;

do not let me be put to shame,

for I take refuge in you.

21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,

because my hope, Lord, is in you.


22 Deliver Israel, O God,

from all their troubles! (Psalm 25)
