Meditation: Psalm 41 David

I said, “O Lord, have mercy on me;

heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
(Psalm 41:4 NIV84)

I get lost in the Old Testament sometimes. Again and again It seems like people put their hope in their righteousness and believe that sickness and death are a punishment for sin.

I see here in David a humility and desperation for the Lord.

Lord I don't understand you or your law or your ways. Lord teach me and guide me. But my hope is in you and that is enough.
