The Slippery Slope

Psalm 19:12-13


Who can discern his errors? --

We lie to ourselves.

Forgive my hidden faults. --

Those I am still in denial of, hiding from myself.

Keep your servant also from willful sins, --

The ones I choose to commit, my foolish choices.

may they not rule over me. --

The slippery slope becomes a plunge into darkness: addiction.

Only then will I be blameless, --

Fully forgiven and cleansed from all unrighteousness.

Innocent of great transgressions. --

If I never do the little thing, it won't lead to a bad habit; if I stay as far away as I can from that edge, there'll be no danger of slipping over it.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
