Psalms 51: 5-19

Does God give us no way out of failure?

The Lord sent Nathan to David (a gift of God)

vs 1-4 - A bringing about of known sin

vs. 5 - He is a sinner

vs. 6 - He sees his own depravity

vs. 7 - He wants the Lord to clean him and announce him clean

vs. 8 - We can feel the pain that our sin has caused others. Brokenness is a work and act of God

vs. 9-10 - Make something new in me. A New Heart

vs. 11 - Deal with me not like those who reject God

vs. 12 - Restore unto me the JOY of my salvation

vs. 13-16 - David was guilty of Uriah’s blood.
God never measures the sacrifice. He looks at the heart.

vs. 17 - The sacrifice is supposed to produce a broken spirit, and a contrite heart. Now He can use us.

vs. 18-19 - He can work in us now. He can use us. We are more useful when we are broken.
