Psalms: Nourishment for the Soul (part eleven)

Have you ever blown it spiritually? We can thank God that He not only supplies the mercy, but He also endows us with the equipment we need for a full restoration. Psalm 51 is one of seven penitential psalms. David threw himself on the mercy of God after committing adultery and murder. That’s right: King David messed up “royally.” His two-fold repentance provides a model that we should follow when we choose sin over holiness. First, he repented of his egregious sins (and his sinfulness). Next, he repented of any remaining self-sufficiency that might incline him to rely on himself to please God.
