A clean heart

Scripture:

Psalms 51:10 (NIV)

10    Create in me a pure heart, O God,

    and renew a steadfast spirit within me.


Observation:
the words of this passage of scripture come from a heart crying out to be brought back into right relationship with the Lord. the obvious answer to the request is obviously "Yes". God always seems willing to create in us clean and pure hearts. the real issue is will we ever allow him access

Application:
Truly, I want a clean heart. I find my cry for this is when i pull myself away from you and begin to dabble in sin. I want a new heart that wants only you. Is it possible? I want to please you.today. This day. only. tomorrow I will again cry out to you my Lord

Prayer:
I love you today. I need you

Scripture:
Psalm 27: 13
13 Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living.14 Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous.Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

Observation:
I love the fact the the Lords goodness is not dependant on my willingness to wait. the Lord invites me to wait (in confidence knowing that he will show up). What a secure place it is to know the greatness of the Lord who will never let me down. 

Application:
I need to remember to wait and always remember when i cant see the other side of an issue, that the Lord is working. He is truly in control and willing to work out his good pleasure and plan

Prayer:
Lord, I need you. You say in your word that if i learn to wait on you I will find new strength. I need your strength. I love you my Jesus
