Prayer of David, Psalms 51:10

Psalms 51:10 " Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.".


This prayer of David was after the prophet Nathan had alluded to the incident of David and Bathsheba. He felt so unworthy to worship God with this "unclean heart" so David did not ask God to CHANGE his heart but ask the ALMIGHTY Creator to CREATE in him a clean heart. He used the Hebrew word "bara" to show it was a Divine creation just as was used to describe creation of the Earth and all that is in it. He does not long to be a CHANGED man, he wants God to create in him a heart that is brand new. Sometimes God allows our choices to bring us down to where we feel like a shell of a human just so we can trust Him to create us as HE wants us to be. We hit rock bottom and figure out HE is the Rock that holds us up. When we have nothing else in this world we are standing on the Rock. What a great place to build a foundation! David was a "hero" of the Old Testament yet sin brought him down just as it does everyone of us. He could have chosen to let the sin be his new identity but instead he took it as an opportunity to become again the man God led him to be.

Talking to a friend and...

God has really been talking to me lately and I realized after talking to a wonderful friend that maybe God is creating opportunities for me to serve MORE than just Cross Timbers and maybe I am meant to serve multiple locations and act as a "go between" contact to work with them together. Looking forward to seeing some of my Legacy church family again this Sunday and visiting with my friend. God is also working on me as far as getting more debt free and is definitely growing my massage clientele to facilitate that at this time. Thankful and blessed!!
