I was chatting with some friends last night and we were talking about Psalm 51, and how it is a prophetic picture of living under the New Covenant, and not to be taken literally by the believer today.
As we were talking I got a picture of the Lord listening to someone speaking out this Psalm in the way that some still do. The exchange went something like this……
Believer – Have mercy on me God (verse 1)
God – Done it
Believer – Wash me from mine iniquity and cleanse me from my sin (verse 2)
God – Done it
Believer – Purge me and make me clean
God – Done it
Believer – Make me hear joy and gladness (verse 8)
God – Done it
Believer – Blot out my iniquities (verse 9)
God – Done it
Believer – Create in me a clean heart and a new spirit (verse 10)
God – Done it
….and we could go on and on and on.
We are living under the New Covenant, in a time when Jesus has completed His finished work, in a time when all these things being asked for have already been given.
Speak this out today…..”Thank you Lord that you have had mercy on me, have created in me a new spirit and have cleansed me from all my sin”.
Psalm 51 v 2…..Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin
