Deeper Into Psalm 51:10-13

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted to You.

Ponder This:
There is a joy just knowing that I can go to God and ask whatever I will, according to His will and He will give it to me. In these verses David asks for a clean heart and the renewing of a steadfast spirit. He asks not to be cast away for the sins he's committed against God and others. He asks that the joy of his salvation be restored to him and most boldly he asked for the Lord God to uphold Him by His generous Spirit.

Apply This Truth to Your Thinking:
Isn't it super cool to know that the generous spirit of God wants to tarry with us even as we sin?! This truth is mind-boggling to say the least! Let's purpose today to remember that we serve a holy God; let's be mindful to see Him present and at work in our lives teaching us His ways, so that we might teach others who don't know Him.

Let's be most mindful to teach or image His ways and not our ways masking as His. Selah...
