E 100 Challenge- Day 42- Have Mercy on Me- Psalm 51:1-19

Psalm 51:1-19 is a response from King David to God after Nathan, God's prophet confronts David with his sin committed against Bathsheba  and her husband Uriah as depicted in 2 Samuel 12.  As we saw on day 36, David a man after God's own heart certainly wasn't without sin.  Here we see in David's prayer a demonstration of godly sorrow that leads to repentance and restoration with the living God.

Questions to Consider:

1. We saw on day 36  David committing adultery with Bathsheba 

     and murdering her husband Uriah.  However, according to what

     we read today, who ultimately did David sin against?

2. Often we can be mislead into believing that as believers, we are

    not as sinful as those without faith in Jesus.  That we might get

   angry, or maybe even have lustful thoughts, but these are not as 

   bad as murder or adultery (see Matt.5:21-30).  How did David 

   see himself before his Holy God?

3. On what basis does David seek forgiveness from God? (vs.1&2)

    Why ultimately did David seek God's forgiveness? (vs.13-15)

Prayer: Father, thank you this morning, that we can come to you through the perfect life and the precious blood of Jesus Christ for forgiveness, SO THAT we can sing of your righteousness, declare your praise and teach sinners about your ways......What a wonderful life, what GOOD NEWS!!!!!
