Today's Bible Guide: Hands that Shed Innocent Blood

When Uriah's wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the Lord....   

2 Samuel 11:26 - 27

Two of the things God hates as stated in Proverbs 6:16 - 19 are "hands that shed innocent blood" and "a heart that devises wicked schemes."
Though Solomon did not mention his father's adulterous affair with his mother in this passage, he must have thought of the consequences that followed: the public humiliation, the death of his brother, and the conflicts that split David's family.
But there is forgiveness and healing for our wrongdoing. As the Psalmist wrote, "If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, therefore you are feared" (Psalm 130:3-4).
If you see yourself in these wrongs which God hates, confess your wrongdoing, forsake it, and find God's strength to overcome your human weakness. This is what grace is about.

Today's Inspiration: Cleansing for All

Cleanse me with the hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow....   
Psalm 51:7

No person is perfect that he does not need cleansing and forgiveness. Paul said this about the cleansing by God's Spirit: "Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word" (Ephesians 5:25-26). True, we sin against others and must learn to seek forgiveness, but ultimately the issue is between the individual and the Maker.

Psalm 51 is a prayer of David. In it he cried out, "Have mercy on me, O God according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away my all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin" (Psalm 51:4). David knew that he had sinned against Bathsheba. He knew he had sinned against Uriah, her husband. But he also recognized that he had sinned against God. He cried out, "Against you [God], you only have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight" (Psalm 51:4).

But there is good news. What David sought is what God dispenses. To find cleansing and forgiveness, you only need ask God for it.

Today's Inspiration: Revenge, Repression, or Forgiveness

For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins ... Matthew 6:14-15 

When you are victimized by wrongdoing, you choose any of these three response: revenge, repression or forgiveness.
Most people choose revenge. But violence only begets more violence, and the cycle is unending. It results in continued pain and anger.
The second response to wrongdoing is to repress how you feel about the incident. But repression doesn't work. Like a dormant volcano, it eventually erupts with a deadly spew that poisons life.
The third response is forgiveness. When you forgive someone, you release the anger and hostility and let God deal with the wrong. In due time, God will enforce His divine justice, for Scripture says, "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay", saith the Lord" (Romans 12:19)

Today's Stars

You may be feeling like a homebody now, Taurus, with no inclination to get out and socialize or see the world around you. But haven't you been hibernating for too long already? It's okay (and even important) to dedicate some of your time to quiet moments, but everything is best in moderation. You need to add a few sparks to your life now, and the best way to do that is to get out there and see what the cosmos is offering you. You don't necessarily have to spend time socializing, but you should at least indulge in some hobbies or interests that you can't access at home.

Today's Inspiration: Come on, Let's Reason Together

But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins....     Matthew 6:15

Have you ever wondered why some people refuse to forgive, why they hold on to bitterness until it becomes a cancer that eats away at them? Medical research has proven conclusively that people who are free of bitterness and anger live longer and enjoy life more than those who refuse to forgive. There's no logic in living with bitterness.
The bottom line is that releasing bitterness, giving up your right to hurt someone else because that person hurt you, is not only good for your health, but good for your heart and soul as well. The best way to deal with those who hurt you is to forgive them, love them, and let God deal with in His way, and in His time.
Have you forgiven those who hurt you? Jesus said that unless we forgive others, our Father in heaven will not forgive us. So, since you are in need of forgiveness yourself, you had better learn to forgive. Say it, write a letter, make a telephone call --- whatever is necessary --- just do it. You'll be the winner when you do.

Today's Stars

You may have encountered a lot of confusion, mixed messages, and misunderstandings in the last few days. You may not know how to make heads or tails of a certain conflict that seems to have arisen out of nowhere. You may have argued in self-defense, but you probably aren't completely sure what you're arguing about. First, Taurus, know that you are not the source of this chaos. You are now immersed in a rather frenetic wave of energy that is clouding communication and causing you distress. But it won't last. Life should get a whole lot clearer and brighter very soon.
