Day 51...(Leviticus 5; Psalm 51)..."Restore A Right Spirit"

Psalm 51 is David expressing the deep remorse of committing adultery with Bathsheba. He also sinned by orchestrating Uriah, her husband, being sent to front line of battle to be killed. David,obviously, had a soul completely out of sorts. Psalm 51, offers hope (even in the Old Testament!) that God forgives the repentant sinner. What a glorious thought that all who confess their sin can be restored. Have we ever a time when we are out of sorts? Our spirit can be restored! Here are the inspiring words...

"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."

Amen!
