Summer in the Psalms
Psalm 51 – A prayer of repentance
1) Repentance is about God’s character; not ours.
2) Repentance is impossible without acknowledging our sin.
3) Our instinct is to downplay our sin; David amplified his.
2 Corinthians 7:9-10
Luke 18:10-14
4) Repentance means desiring renewal – not just forgiveness.
5) God is glorified by our brokenness.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
6) The Joy of the Lord heals our spirit.
