Psalms 51 – God the re-builder

God created the heavens and the earth.  Jesus came as a carpenter.

Psalms 51 God is re-building a soul from sin’s destruction.

 

building plans

 

Step one.  We come broken to God for mercy and help.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.  Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Psalm 51:1‭-‬2 NIV

 

Step two.  Confession of sins effect on us.

For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.  Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.  Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.  Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place. Psalm 51:3‭-‬6 NIV

Step 3.  The request only God can do.

Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.  Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.  Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Psalm 51:7‭-‬9 NIV

 

Step 4.  God the Re-builder.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.  Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.  Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

 

Do you need a lightnside? Do you need restoration? Do you need Joy?  Follow these steps and allow God to re-build your heart today.
