David writes Psalm 51 after blowing up his life, and yet he sees a way forward from guilt to joy: repentance. The psalm teaches us to follow his lead, recognizing the reality of our guilt, the depth of our sin, and the size of God’s grace.
Application Questions:
1. How do you handle guilt in your life?
2. David sees himself as a sinner from birth. Do you think that is true of you as well?
3. We often run from repentance. How can the size of God’s grace help us to run to repentance instead?
