Psalm 25:8-10, 14

Psalm 25 is an amazing psalm--such an encouragement!  Verses 8-10 and 14 jumped out at me today...
"Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way.  He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.  All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies...The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant."
Notice the transition from "sinners" to "humble" to "those who keep His covenant" to "fear Him" and "friendship"!  How wonderful! Reminiscent of Ephesians 2 --we were enemies and aliens, but THROUGH CHRIST we have peace, reconciliation and friendship.  We are now HIS CHILDREN!   
May we never cease to marvel at where we were before we were reconciled and our position now!
