Psalm 51 is a wonderful passage (emergency telephone number) where King David, who recognized his sin, asks for forgiveness and can be a perfect example for others who are in a similar place.  Let me share the beginning of this Psalm  “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.  Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.”  

Now if you might say I’m not a sinner we go to 1 John 1:8 where the author says “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

We can also be encouraged to hear in verse 9 “If we confess our sins, he (God) is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”  That my friends is a wonderful promise.

Hoping you will see why these numbers that can be phoned directly will bring you a blessed assurance that no place you might call through 911 can ever provide.

Next post we’ll consider – when we are facing danger.
