Text: Psalm 51:1-8
1(To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.) Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
5Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Key Verse: “Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.” Psalm 51:8
Message
The prodigal son was a beloveth child of his father. He had everything that could make him happy and comfortable for life. One day, this son yielded to Satan’s suggestion to obtain freedom from his lovely family. He then gathered all his share of the family inheritance and went to a far country.

The far-country stands for a state of backsliding and separation from our loving God. This was the condition of David the writer of Psalm 51. He did bad things and when he was rebuked by God through prophet Nathan, he became truly sorry. This is what made him different from king Saul who disobeyed God. When prophet Samuel pointed out his sins, he passed the blame to others instead of repenting.
The broken bone is a spiritual term used to describe the sinner’s life or state. David realized his sinfulness and repented. God accepted him back and also blessed him. God’s desire is for every sinner and backslider to repent so He can heal their broken bones. Are you a sinner or someone who has stopped loving Jesus? Come to God now. Be sincerely sorry for your bad ways, repent and ask for forgiveness and cleansing of your sins with the blood of Jesus. Do it now and God will cleanse you.

Prayer for today: Dear Lord, deliver me from sin and restore me to fellowship with You.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
