David showed great sorrow for his behavior after committing such horrible acts. But we all fall short and fail so that we can learn with a broken heart; there's a master who can create un us something new.
Isn't it wonderful that we cannot fall far enough where The Lord can't catch us?
I'm so glad you're here. It's a pleasure to study with you.

Hey, y'all, welcome to blessed to be as I'm your cousin in Christ, want to live there. And this is bougie Bible study. If you are new here, I'd like to welcome you to the number one Bible study class that you will ever come across. And if you are not new here, you already know how we get down as we dive into the Bible, and read a chapter a week and get the inside story of what took place back in the ancient times that still vital and preached around the world all today in different languages, different books. And it just means so much to have a relationship with God that sometimes some of us don't know how that is, or we don't know how it goes. So I'm here being an advocate for the Lord, as he used me to dive into the Bible just so that I can read the stories and get an insight for him on my understanding. Now, I'm not a prophet, or I'm not someone to prophesied over you. If you are looking for a preacher or a prophecy or something like that, I advise you to go ahead and go to church lake in which a local pastors preachers or anything like that, for this is solely just a Bible study class, I am a sinner just like everybody else. But I love to walk in relationship with God. And I love to learn about the exciting things and his word what he has for me, and I advise everybody, all my listeners, friends, families, and cousins to also walk in relationship with God. Now how do you do that, you simply just pick up the Bible, and you start asking God to help you decipher the words, so that he can go and move before you so that you can always revert back to the Bible for anything that the Lord may want to speak to you about, or just walking in relationship with the Lord. It is very vital and essential for your life. And that's what I will advise as a cousin in Christ, we are in Episode 39, which is class 39. We've been doing this for some time. And our class today is Psalms 51. The title for our class is a classic confession, which is the coefficient of King David from where he did with Bathsheba and all that stuff that took place from the previous episodes that we did before. Now, if you are new here, I advise you to go check out the episodes before this so that you can get an understanding of how this podcast go for again, this is not a church sermon, I am not your preacher, I am a sinner, I walk and look to the Lord just like everybody else, okay, but I'm allowing God to use me so that I could go into the Bible to get an understanding for myself. And I pray and hope that you also get an understanding for yourself because what he's speaking to me about, I don't think he's speaking to you about but how we come together and unite for the world is something that he has planned for all of us. So I welcome you my cousin in Christ. So the number one Bible study class that you will ever come across and so period, okay, now you can read out of any Version Bible you choose to that is your business. You can listen on your phone, or you can simply just put your headphones on, listen on your headphones or anything like that read out of any Version Bible you choose to. That's your business. I read out of the NIV version. I have a Bible plan here a tracker Bible that's allowing me to jump in and out of chapters to give me the understanding that I need. Now we've been 14 weeks in the Old Testament, what a few more weeks, they'll to go go ahead and check out any episode before it is so that you can get an understanding about how these classes go. If you are ready, I am ready. Go ahead and grab your Bible again class will be in Psalms 51. And our title is a classic confession for the Director of Music, a Psalm of David when a prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba. Now, we did do that episode. So you might want to go check that out. It's called David and Bathsheba. Let's go Psalm 51 verse one, have mercy on me. Oh God, according to your unfailing love, according to your great compassion blot out Mark Trask Russians wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions and my sin is always before me against you. You only have I said and done what is evil in your sight. So you are right in your verdict and justify when you judge surely I was in sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me yet your desire faithfulness, even in the womb, you taught me wisdom in the secret place. Cleanse me with high soap, and I will be clean, wash me and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness. Let the bones you have crushed, rejoice, hide your face from my sins and blot out all my inequity created me a pure heart, O God and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me, Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me, then I will teach transgressors your way so that sinners return back to you deliver me from the guilt of blushing, oh God, you who are God, my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness, open my lips, Lord, and my mouth would declare your praise. You do not delight in sacrifice, or I will bring it you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings, my sacrifice, oh, God is a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart you God will not despise. May it please you to prosper Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem, then you will delight in the sacrifice of the righteous and burnt offerings offered home then bulls will be offered on your altar. And that's the end of our chapter. What a very short straight to the point chapter this confession is from King David, you have to check out the episodes before this which is David and Bathsheba Second Samuel 11. Second Samuel 12 Nathan rebukes of the king, check out those two episodes to understand this episode. In a whole this is David's confession to God, when God was not happy with what David did. God let David know that he was going to experience a hardship on his life and his family. And that's because of what David did. Now here you have in Psalms 51, a true confession of David just admitting that God is still worthy and righteous in his decision. It makes so much sense to David to accept the guilt and the punishment that God allowed on his life that he didn't do anything but confess that his sins was there and that God always want it faithfulness from his children, even from birth. So in summary, as we break it down, the part that sticks out is created me a pure heart, O God and renew a steadfast spirit in me. We all fall short to our sinful nature. No one is disqualified from falling short of your sin, we end up doing it right. So it's more so of us just confessing our sins to the Lord. He knows what we did. But confessing them letting the Lord know that his decision, his discipline acts on us His blessings on us His steadfast spirit on us everything that he provided for us is right is good for us whether we like it or not, and to hear David in this speech is more of so like all of us, we all have fans so 5110 this poem of remembrance survives as the most impressive outcome of David's sordid affair with Bathsheba. It is one thing for a king to confess a moral lapse and private for profit, it is quite a different matter for him to compose a detailed account of that confession to be sung throughout the land and ultimately, around the world. All nations have heroes perhaps uniquely, however, Israel recall its greatest heroes failing in epic literature. The greatest king in Israel's history acted like the worst and this eloquent Psalm possibly used and worship service as a guide for confession shows that Israel ultimately remember David more for his humble response to his failure than for his military or political achievements. Step by step. The Psalms takes the reader or singer through the stages of repentance. It describes have the constant mental replays, Oh, if only I had a chance to do it over the knowledge, guilt, the shame and finally the hope for a new beginning that springs from true repentance. David's great legacy. David lives under Old Testament law which prescribed a harsh punishment for his crimes death by Stoney. Yet in a remarkable way, this Psalms transcends the rigid formulas of law and reveals the true nature of sin as a broken relationship with God against you. You only have I sinned, David cried out, no ritual sacrifice or religious ceremonies will cause his guilt to vanish. God wants a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart. Those David has, he knew his place before God. And this humility made him a sterling example for his people, the best king of Israel fail the farthest, but he couldn't fall nor can anyone fall beyond the reach of God's love and forgiveness. Just like what a chapter say, we all get in those feelings of the unknown of feeling like man, do God forgive me, Will I ever be forgiven for this, I was wrong for committing this doing whatever crime or causing whatever problem or act in a certain way, and a lot of times, a lot of us get so caught up in those feelings or actions that we forget that God is a forgiving guy. And even though he's going to punish us punishment is just by allowing him to still forgive us and carry on. I think, for me, reading the story of David and seeing everything that took place, how it all had to unfold. Sometimes we take our position for granted. Sometimes we take God's love for granted, his forgiveness, his peace, his healing, his given, we take all of that for granted. And we forget the position he has as none of us are disqualified from being used by God. None of us are disqualified for being used by God. It doesn't matter what you have done in your life. It doesn't matter where you come from in your life, you are not disqualified to be used by God to hear David confess, and to hear that God just wanted David's broken spirit. It made sense to me because when you see the story of pho of what he did, he never lied about it. He never denied it. He never tried to act like what he did wasn't wrong. He actually went through the emotions and feelings and everything that took place because he took his position for granted. He used his position of power and an authority that he shouldn't have done. He slept with Bathsheba when Bathsheba belonged to Uriah. He got Uriah killed by putting him on the front line in a battle and Dan Bathsheba got pregnant, which would have would have been David's child. And when they came to confront David, for God, David did not deny his actions, and he went into full repentance. And this is a poem and a song from David that was later on scene in the old times. So I'm not in the old time. This is stories from the Old time. And if you can take the stories from the old times and apply them for today, you can see how the Bible is just so vital and essential for your life, how you can use the stories of the Bible and compare them to the stories of your life or maybe to somebody that you might know, and you can see how God works in our life. Now, it's amazing to me to see that David's what he really did like the guilt the problem that he caused, wasn't really the thing that the people look to the people more was so intrigued by his confession, his humiliation to God and how he was able to prepare and sang this song and confess his wrongdoings to let God know that what God was doing was right and where he was at in life where David was acting like was wrong. It is says to me a lot about me about people because I sometimes don't feel like I'm qualified for God's forgiveness. If I may do something wrong. I'm not perfect. I'm a sinner just like everybody else. What people may not know about me is maybe my work life. You know where I come from. And some people will say like, how could you be reading the Bible? How could you worship God and your stripper, but in reality, God is stripping me because that's not my final destination. That's not going to be the place that I end And up at but use that against me or even allow the enemy to use that against me. It's like no God can use you at any position you are any place that you are in like, no matter what God will use you. And if he say you qualify, you qualify. Now, the confession that David did for God is simply a song that Israel was able to utilize and see that everybody fall short, nobody will fall far where God can use you, like nobody, do not cast me from your presence, or take your Holy Spirit from me, Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and grant me a willing spirit to stay me. God is beautiful. He's amazing about winning, but I think a sacrifice, I think about sacrificing ourselves everything that's not like God, you know, giving that up for God to us to break to strip, always say, you know, for me, I'm being stripped by Christ, no matter my occupations, because amongst many things, even though I'm a stripper, I'm many more things than that. I'm a real estate agent. I'm a life insurance agent, I'm licensed esthetician, I am a student getting my business degree, like there's so many things about me that I'm very honored and blessed to be being used by God, no matter what position our decisions I make, I know that God is just and he's just sort of unjust. And he is like, the ultimate everything. So when I get in trouble by God, I know that is worth it. I know that I can't fall too hard, I can't fall where God can't catch me. I can't miss love, or it's not available for God, if I'm looking for peace in a world that's wrong, because I know I can find that in God's word. I don't know about you. But every time I get like a message from God, or I end up coming across the scripture from God or a know from God, it does something to my spirit, it brings a different light, he changes my mood, it changes my whole atmosphere. And so for me, I take honor next. So the question is, would you lose respect for a leader, if he or she admitted failures as openly as David did, when it comes to the leaders of our world, I guess you can say, I mean, for me, if respect when it comes to respect, I don't really respect that many people, I respect people as much as I need to be, like, I'll give you the respect that needs to be but outside of that, you know, respect has to be earned respect people enough that you can respect their wishes in day life and stuff. And when it comes to the leaders for I'm gonna just talk about the leaders of the of the church. Now when it comes to these church leaders. Now, it's a lot of bullcrap point, oh, it's a lot of false preaching going on, it's a lot of taking God's words and using it for their own benefits, it's a lot of that going on. So when I see a preacher in a higher position, or see people leaders in a higher position, I see them make mistakes, or whatever the case may be, it's not so more for when you confess, when you admit your failures, that people will lose respect for you, I think people automatically lose respect for you if you're in a higher position, because you should know better. Now, respect can be also earned back, but it's always gonna be a little respect removed when somebody is in a higher position, and they mess up even if you admit to it. Now admitting to it gives you points because it shows that you take accountability for your actions. Now, if you admit to you, or you repeat it again, then get you don't deserve respect. But who am I to say, I don't know, I was just this is just a question, would you lose respect for a leader if he or she admitted failures as openly as David D. But it's always gonna be a little sign that this person is capable of doing something that they shouldn't be doing? And that's just how I look at it. I'm asking God to work on me in certain areas in my life. So yeah, I'm just a sinner just like everybody else. So don't quote me, because God is still working on me. The question is for all of us, all right, and you have been rockin which cousin that was the end of today's episode. It was very short. It was cute. Go ahead and send this message to anybody you feel may benefit from it. We all fall short and we all should be able to confess our failures to the Lord because you know what forgiveness matters, the Lord forgiveness matters and he forgives all of us. You just have to feel it in your heart. You have to feel that forgiveness. God is pouring it out on all of us every day.
