SCRIPTURE: Psalm 51:1-12
Create in 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. (Psalm 51:10-12).
OBSERVATION:
It is all here. In this plea to God is the call to confess our sins. Sins being cleansed is reference in verses 1,2,7 with language that reminds us of the power of baptism. Nothing is hidden from the great I AM. Finally, we are not only cleansed of sin but created anew.
APPLICATION:
We are to seek salvation by asking for forgiveness, live with right actions, and share the Good News of Salvation.
PRAYER:
Lord. forgive me when I have sinned against you and others. Create in me a new heart to know and live your love and strengthen my voice to share you to others.
YIELD:
We must yield thoughts, comments, and actions which separate us from GOd.
