Worship renews the spirit as sleep renews the body. –Cabot
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
After David was confronted by Nathan the prophet, the Lord convicted him of his sin with Bathsheba. David cried out in this repentant song asking for mercy, forgiveness, and for his joy to be returned so he might proclaim the grace and mercy of God to those who have strayed off the straight and narrow and those who have never repented.
David surrendered his will for the Will of God. When he did, we find David worshipping our Saviour in such as way he proclaimed: “O God, thou God of my salvation:” What a testimony for you and I! If we repent and ask God to forgive, He will! When He does- it is natural for us to worship!
Aren’t you tired of running from God? When is the last time you trusted the Lord enough to ask Him to forgive you? When is the last time you repented of some sin that it brought you to the point of worship and it gave you rest?
