Psa 130:1-2, OUT OF THE DEPTHS I HAVE CRIED TO YOU, O LORD; LORD, HEAR MY VOICE! LET YOUR EARS BE ATTENTIVE TO THE VOICE OF MY SUPPLICATIONS.
The Psalmist, in desperation, calls upon the LORD for help! Please hear me! Remember, your going before a HOLY GOD and sin will always block your prayers to HIM!
Neh 1:6, please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and CONFESS THE SINS OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WHICH WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU. BOTH MY FATHER’S HOUSE AND I HAVE SINNED.
Psa 130:3, IF YOU, LORD, SHOULD MARK INIQUITIES, O LORD, WHO COULD STAND?
No one will be able to stand before the LORD for HE knows everything about you! You can’t hide anything from HIM for HE knows all!
Psa 1:5, THEREFORE THE UNGODLY SHALL NOT STAND IN THE JUDGMENT, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Psa 69:5, O God, YOU know my foolishness; And MY SINS ARE NOT HIDDEN FROM YOU.
Psa 130:4, BUT THERE IS FORGIVENESS WITH YOU, THAT YOU MAY BE FEARED.
Scripture tells us that we may go boldly, in prayer, before our HOLY, RIGHTEOUS GOD!
Heb 4:16, Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED.
BUT, like Nehemiah, we must confess our sins before HIM! HE is our FATHER and HE loves HIS children, but HE also corrects HIS own!
1Jn 1:9, If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Psa 130:7-8, O Israel, hope in the LORD; For with the LORD there is mercy, And with Him is abundant redemption. AND HE SHALL REDEEM ISRAEL FROM ALL HIS INIQUITIES.
Not just Israel, but all those that place their faith in HIM! People blame the Jews for killing JESUS, others the Romans, but truth be told OUR SINS ARE TO BLAME! HE BORE THE SHAME OF OUR SINS ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY! HE DID THAT FOR YOU!
Isa 53:5, BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE CHASTISEMENT FOR OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.
