Forgiveness, Cleansing, Renewing

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable, yes. But let's be honest: the geneologies aren't really going to be high on anyone's list of passages to memorize. Some parts of Scripture are simply more real-life, everyday usable than others. And none more, I'd say than Psalm 51, David's post-Bathsheba plea for forgiveness, cleansing, and renewing. Every one of us fails God every day, and every time we need to realize the gravity of our sin. No, our sins and shortcomings no longer condemn us after we've been saved, but that sin that you committed today--that I committed today--clogs the line of communication between us and God. Every single little sin I commit puts a block up between myself and the Master, and only He can break down that barrier. The great news is, He's just waiting for us, as David did, to admit our failure and ask Him to renew that relationship; and the moment we ask, He will!
