Life Lesson (Psalm 26:)

We must deal with two types of sin in our lives.

1. We need forgiveness for the sins we have already committed.


2. We need cleansing from our desire to commit sins.

Life Lesson (Psalm 26:5)

Living for the Lord is a challenge when we are involved with other believers. It makes it more of a challenge to live for God when we are constantly involved with doubters.

Life Lesson (Psalm 26:12)

David did not have confidence in his ability to follow the Lord.

David had great confidence in God’s ability to lead him.

Life Lesson (Psalm 26:5)

Be very careful where you go online and who you ‘fellowship with’ when you are online.

Life Lesson (Psalm 26:3)

We should think, focus and meditate on the goodness and love of God.

8 It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in princes.

Do not put your trust in princes,
Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.

6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children to the third and the fourth generation."

The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

For I am always aware of your unfailing love,
and I have lived according to your truth.

Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

Don't you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can't you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?

1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
