P. 61
breast saying, “God be merciful to me a
sinner.” Jesus said, “for every one that
exalteth himself shall be abased; and he
that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”
The Pharisee saw no need for God’s mercy
because he did not perceive himself to be a
sinner. But Romans 3:23 says, “For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Possibly one of the reasons that God
referred to David as a man after his own
heart is because David continually
acknowledged God’s holiness and he
acknowledged his continual need of God’s
mercy. Oh that all men, like David, would
praise the LORD for his goodness and for his
wonderful works to the children of men —
the most wonderful work being forgiveness
of sins offered in God’s mercy through our
Lord Jesus Christ.
