Psalm 51: 3-13
LE POEM OF KING DAVID WHO WEEP FOR HIS SINS (1)
King David committed adultery with the wife of Uriah his royal subject. After this event, he wrote this psalm with a broken heart. Although he loves God, David committed sin and suffer from its consequences.1) King David wept for his sins
David has no intention to equivocate or to hide his sin, annd at every word he confesses his crimes, his sins, his sins. David confesses that he not only commits the sin against Bathsheba, but against God himself. What makes human life so sad? Money ? Or sin?
2) King David beg the forgiveness of sins
Think about the words he uses when he begs forgiveness of sins: wash, cleanse, purify. These are terms used in the lepers purification ceremony. King David, as lepers that he himself cannot heal its own forces, is asking for mercy so that he be clean. Sin takes wisdom (8).
3) David begs holiness
Now there is nothing that King David could ask, but the Spirit of God. But after he committed a sin does he have the right to ask the Holy Spirit? (John 6:37). What he needs is holiness. What really man needs is not passion, but holiness.
Prayer: Lord, do not reject me because of my sins but grant me the Holy Spirit, then I will not be sad.
One Word: King David seeks the Holy Spirit
