Psalm 51 is a heartfelt Psalm of forgiveness. David blames no one but himself for sleeping with Bathsheba and having Uriah murdered and he begs for God's forgiveness. David knew that his sin hurt God's heart and because of that, his heart was broken. But joy eventually comes and David no longer feels the guilt because the Lord forgave him and restored his fellowship with Him. When we sin, we need to confess our sins repent, get back in the game, and be in the Scriptures daily. Let us learn from King David’s example - see Psalm 51.

As Christians we must have credibility, right thinking, and a servant's heart so that we can be the best team player in the Kingdom of God. There's no room for elbowing each other as Christians or wondering how you can always get the credit. We are after accuracy in Christ and leading with a servant's heart. JOY stands for (Keep) Jesus First, Others second & You third.

In 2nd Samuel 19, David has the sense to listen to the wisdom of an older man named Barzillai. As we age, we don't mail it in and we never retire from proclaiming Christ. Moses didn't hit his stride until the near end of his life. No matter your age, the Holy Spirit wants to transform you into the image of Christ and allow you to use your wisdom to help others in their faith.
