GOD OF MERCY - PSALM 51
GOD OF MERCY - PSALM 51
Adapted from “God, be merciful to me, On Thy grace I rest my plea” Psalter; Refrain by Joseph Addison To have a Nathan is good for us. Where might David have gone in his unrighteous sovereignty if God had not loved him and sent him Nathan the prophet? Our ‘Nathan’ may be alive or departed (verbal or written) but God corrects the course of His saints - always! In fact, we are illegitimate if He doesn’t (Heb. 12:3 ff) Then, when we have been corrected, how sweet is our fellowship with God, with a renewed heart, willing spirit and being filled by the Spirit!? So we gladly rest our plea on God’s grace, because we know the outcome is good. Let’s confess our sin (yes, that one too), and know the abundant mercy of God - and give thanks.
