A Psalm of Sin and Mercy

Do you ever fear what God thinks of your deepest darkest sin? In light of God's holiness we can often feel ashamed or paralyzed at the thought of our sin being exposed. In Psalm 51 we see King David faced with the reality that he has committed adultery and murdered a man. The depths of his sin are great, but the mercy of God proves greater. King David shows us a pattern of humility and repentance when confronted with our sin. This Psalm also gives us great hope that we can trust God when we come to Him with our darkest secrets.
