Psalms: Truth and Treasures Day 9
King David, the mightiest, most powerful man on the face of the earth at that time, had to humble himself before Almighty God. David had broken his fellowship with God by sinning as he yielded to temptation. Psalm 51 is a heart-wrenching account of brokenness, confession and crying out in repentance for God’s forgiveness. In this time alone with God, David was able to see his sin as God saw it and he was able to find in God’s mercy the forgiveness he sought.
I need daily to have my time with God so He can reveal my sin and lead me to confession, repentance, and forgiveness. I need to be in continuous fellowship with God daily to receive the power to resist temptation and be a useful servant of God. When I fail, as I often do; during theses times with God, He forgives me and reorient’s me to His will for my life. Thank God for these precious times of being with Him.
