Isaiah 35
This chapter deals with the future. This is when the glorious kingdom has come. Desert and the parched land will be glad. The fact is we will see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God. Have you ever thought about the glory of God? You should be full of awe and be humbled at the same time. It cannot be described. Isaiah is encouraging the people, look beyond your circumstances and look to God! Verse 5-6 speaks of spiritual and physical healing which is reflected in Christ's and the Apostles ministry on earth. Matthew 11.5; Matthew 12.2; Acts 3.7-8. It is encouraging to me in 1 John 3.2-3 says ' But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure. '
A favorite word of Isaiah is the 'highway'. In 36.8, the highway is mentioned and is called the way of Holiness. Only the redeemed will be there and they will enter Zion with singing and everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them and sorrow and sighing will flee away. (NIV)

Psalm 51, with Commentaries verse by verse
Psalm 51.1-19 is a psalm of David, He wrote this when the prophet Nathan came to him and rebuked him (2Samuel 12.1-14) after he committed adultery with Bathsheba (2Samuel 11). David has been nicknamed "The greatest of saints, the greatest of sinners. This is one of the seven penitential psalms. In verse 4, David acknowledged that the sin of adultery, murder, and lying that he committed was AGAINST GOD. We need to realize that the sins we commit against other people, ultimately, we are sinning against God.
In Verse 17 and 18 David realized that the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart. We need to realize that saying the right things is not good enough to be reconciled to God and man. It also is a change in an attitude of repentance. Repentance means taking 180 degrees turn from the direction we were in, that is from sinning and now heading into righteousness.
