Blocked View - La vista obstruida

"For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is] ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this] evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest." Psa 51:3-4

"And they consider not in their hearts [that] I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face." Hsa 7:2

Why are even “little” sins such a big deal? When we look at our sins it doesn’t matter how big they are. The problem is that we are looking at sin, not at God’s face. And when God sees us he is looking at our sin not at His image. It is not vanity for God to delight in Himself and His image because He is beauty. When we say our sins our little we are not looking at it from the right perspective. They are little to us but we do take into account that they block our view of the Creator of the universe.

And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the [son] of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will. Act 13:22

Why was David considered a man after God’s own heart? It was not because he was perfect. It was because he was constantly aware of his relationship with God.

Scripture from King James Version

Porque yo reconozco mis rebeliones, Y mi pecado está siempre delante de mí. Contra ti, contra ti solo he pecado, Y he hecho lo malo delante de tus ojos; Para que seas reconocido justo en tu palabra, Y tenido por puro en tu juicio. Salmo 51:3-4

Y no consideran en su corazón que tengo en memoria toda su maldad; ahora les rodearán sus obras; delante de mí están. Oseas 7:2

¿Por qué son aun los pecados “pequeños” importante para Dios? Cuando miramos nuestros pecados no importa que tal grande son. El problema es que estamos mirando pecado, no la cara de Dios. Y cuando Dios nos mira no ve su imagen si no el pecado. No es vanidad para Dios encantarse ver su imagen porque todo lo que nosotros entendemos y no entendemos de la belleza es una sombre de Él. Cuando decimos nuestros pecados son pequeños no lo estamos mirando de la perspectiva correcta. Son pequeños para nosotros pero no damos cuenta que bloquean nuestra vista del creador del universo.

Quitado éste, les levantó por rey a David, de quien dio también testimonio diciendo: He hallado a David hijo de Isaí, varón conforme a mi corazón, quien hará todo lo que yo quiero. Hechos 13:22

¿Por qué era David considerado un varón conforme al corazón de Dios? No fue porque él era perfecto. Era porque él estaba constantemente enterado de su relación con Dios.

Toda las escrituras son del Reina Valera 1960
