Inward Parts

May 7 – Inward Parts - Psalm 51:6

     David then talks about what should be going on in the heart.  You see our heart is where the issues of life take place.  First, we should have truth in the inward parts.  Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.  He is the only truth we need.  His life is what we should be striving to replicate.  The irony of truth is that Pilate asked Jesus what was truth and the truth was standing in front of him in the person of Jesus Christ. 

     Next, David says that wisdom is something that should be sought in the inward parts.  We should ask the Lord for wisdom to be present in our life.  It will come when we seek God.  In James 1:5 we learn that if we lack wisdom we can ask God who will give to us in abundance.  Both these can be received and cultivated in our hearts or inwards parts.  Seek them daily and see how God changes your life.

The heart

It is the beginning of the week and here is your thought today.   A heart can be as wide as a canyon or as narrow as a crack it just depends on it the love in it.  So today give your heart to the Lord and He will mend your heart and enable you to love as you were intended with joy and peace.

Ephesians 2:9 New Living Translation (NLT)

Have Mercy

May 4 – Have Mercy – Psalm 51:1-2

     We are going to spend the next few days in this wonderful psalm.  David in this psalm has sinned with Bathsheba and they were with child.  He then had her husband killed and when this was exposed by Nathan the prophet this psalm was a result of his repentance.  David first, asks for God`s mercy.  He knew that he was guilty but he was asking for God to have pity on him.  David then reminded the Lord of his unfailing love.  God love never fails.  According to you compassion David asks for God to blot out his transgression.  David was fully aware of his sin and the consequences of it.  He was asking for something he did not deserve.  We ask the same thing when we come to Christ.  We are relying on God`s grace, mercy and compassion like David.

     David in vs 2, that it was against the Lord and only the Lord that he had sinned even though David has sinned against himself, his family and his nation.  David had done evil in the sight of the Lord.  The Lord was right in what he had done in response to David`s sin.  The Lord was also justified in His judgment.  Yet David was asking for mercy.  Have you ever done or felt this way.  In that moment be thankful for 1 John 1:9, that says if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  What a great promise and reality.
