I
love the Psalms; reading one a day is a good plan. David really shows his love,
fear of and heart for God in his poetry. In writing Psalm 139 verses 23 and 24 King
David humbled himself before his God and cried out that his heavenly Father
would search his heart for any wickedness and show him how to walk in
Godliness.
As
with David, we cannot do this and walk the walk on our own; o how we need God
in our lives. In Romans chapter 2 and verse 15 we are told that our born-again
spirits, (hearts or consciences) will show us if we are right or wrong if we
allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate and strengthen our spirits with the word of
God (John 14:26; Rom 8:16).
Get
in the word, ask God to bring you revelation by the Holy Spirit as you read and
meditate his word. Allow the spotlight of God’s word to show you where you need
to change so you can draw ever closer to God. Remember it is not in our own
strength but it is God who shows us the way and empowers us to change and be
more like him: “being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good
work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil 1:6; KJV).
Lord,
flood us with your presence, your Holy Spirit today and have your way in our
lives.
