With God all things are possible

In Psalm 51:1-9, David found the reset button for a life gone wrong. It is built on God's unique operating system called " Mercy". All the good things that come our way are gifts from God, including His mercy.
The psalmist shows us that the reset button for God's mercy is confession of sin, old fashioned repentance. Remember 1 John 1:9: " If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." We were born in sin and have continued to sin since our birth. That sin is call depravity,a nd we have Adam to thank for it. No wonder our lives get so hung up!
The desire for the psalmist was restoration, to purge from the filth he felt in his sinfulness. We have all been in this spot, probably more times than we care to admit. The answer to remember His mercy, and to push the reset button of confession and repentance!
Psalm 51:1 Have mercy upon me , O God, according to Yôur lovingkindness ; according to the multitude of Yôur tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from my iniquity.
And cleanse me from my sin.
V7 purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. V8 Make me hear joy and gladness, that the bones You have broken may rejoice.
For it is WITH God all things are possible.
Father God, guide me today to do all things that bring glory and honor to You Amen
