Praise to the KEEPER OF MY SOUL
“‘It is You who has kept my soul from the pit of nothingness, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.’”
There are some descriptions of God that “wow” us. This is one of them. “Nothingness.” I don’t know anyone who wants “nothingness” to describe them or their lives. Deep within, we yearn to be significant. But without God, we find ourselves in a pit of nothingness carrying the burden of our sins on our back. Then, one day, we look UP. We respond to Jesus’s outstretched hand. He takes our sins on His back and was scourged for our transgressions. We recognize that in His death, we were made clean. “Nothingness” no longer describes us. We are children of the King and destined for His throne room.
Lord, KEEPER OF MY SOUL, I praise You for casting all my sins behind You and for keeping me from the pit of nothingness.
