—Psalm 51:1-9
by: Leota Stevens.
The words of this psalm must have been uttered in absolute agony. When the enormity of sin becomes a reality in our understanding and we see it for what it truly is, it knocks us to our knees, like it did David. Sin is so invasive and ugly. It blemishes the beautiful, tarnishes the treasure, putrefies the precious. The wound of sin on humanity has cut off communication with God and left us out of touch with our creator. What a special privilege it is to have your sin forgiven and your heart relieved of the pain of separation from God.
