Psalm 51:1 (NLT), "Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stains of my sins." Tuesday... We can really mess up, can't we? We can mess up with our families, with our spouses, with our kids, with our friends and for sure with God. King David the writer of this Psalm 51 did. He really messed up but then the prophet Nathan confronted him and after that confrontation, David wrote and prayed to God this Psalm. And he starts it my saying what we need to pray and what he prayed. Verse 1 (NLT) says "Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stains of my sins." He goes on in verse 2, "Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin. For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and night." Is that true of you? Do you have something in your life that haunts you day and night? Well David did too and he did something about it. Yes, God ...
A positive reflection for a new day...
