Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. Psalms 25:18<br/><br/>Charles Spurgeon summarizes this Psalm so well, especially this verse and especially, Davids request for forgiveness. He writes, "I can understand, also, why David should add, "And forgive all my sins," because he knew that the revolt of Absalom was mysteriously connected with the Divine purpose as a chastisement for his sin with Bathsheba. He recollected how Nathan had told him that he should have war all the days of his life — and now he remembered it all — the bitterness of gall sickened his soul as he remembered that sin which had once been so sweet to his taste. He went back to the fatal day and the tears stood in his eyes as he thought of all the filth and guilt of his conduct — what a traitor he had been to Uriah — how he had dishonored the name of God in the midst of the whole land!<br/><br/>Thankfully, God is willing to forgive, so join me in reading Psalm 25 and be encouraged!
