RENEW YOUR SPIRIT IN ME Wednesday December 16, 2015
Text: Psalm 51:7 – 13 Memory verse: v 10
The
content of David’s pray here is worthy of note. He prayed that God would
cleanse him from his sins and its defilement (51:7). He also prayed that, as
his sins are being pardoned, he might have the comfort of that pardon. He asks
not to be comforted till first he is cleansed and that he will receive complete
and effectual pardon (51:9). He asked for sanctifying grace, for continuance of
God's good-will towards him and the progress of His good work in him, restoring
divine comforts and the perpetual communications of divine grace towards him.
The
two words used in 51:10 make a complete prayer. David asked
God to CREATE what is not there at all and to RENEW that which was there, but in a sadly feeble state. The spirit of God was in him but He was grieved (Ephesians 4:30). This is consequences of sin. Sin demoralizes. It renders us powerless and makes the joy of salvation to depart from us. Are you still under the burden of sin? This prayer of David can help to ease the burden if you can pray it with all your heart. Do it now and don’t procrastinate about it. I wish you a great day.

Food for Thought: God honours humility.
Prayer: Use the memory verse for prayers.
