2:9 - Psalm 51
Wow. Check out Pablo’s thoughts on the Psalm as it relates to worship (link). Great stuff. Here’s my own quick thoughts on the psalm for today, Psalm 51.
- God alone blots out our sin for ever. He alone cleanses us from our sin!
- Do we know our transgressions? It is imperative that we are aware of our own sins, and that we keep them before ourselves.
- We sin only against God. Sin against people is not a major deal. But the sin against our brother or sister is really a sin against God, which is the major deal.
- We were brought forth in sin. That is, we were all born into sin, and have to deal with it from the first second we breathe.
- God delights in Truth in our inward being, and Wisdom in the secret heart. Jesus is the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life. When God the Father looks on our inward being and sees Jesus, He delights in it.
- Purging with hyssop = cleansing is sometimes bitter and unpleasant.
- Whiter than snow = cleaner than clean. Unless you’re talking New Jersey snow….but that’s another story.
- God creates a clean heart in us. We can’t do it ourselves.
- Worship, as Pablo wrote, is a reflection of God’s work in our lives and hearts.
- As our sin is cleansed, and transgressions are blotted out, a new heart is created within us, and the Lord takes delight in our sacrifices and worship.
