God's Words For US
by Cecelia Lester
Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit in within me. Cast me not from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Psalm 51:10 (ESV)
Prayer of David
The prophet Nathan had confronted David about his sin with Bathsheba. David recognized that what he had done was sinful
in God’s eyes.
David knew he had to repent. He had sinned against God and done evil. My question today is this: When we sin how long does it take us to realize our error?
Monday, Jim and I went looking for kitchen chairs. Our first stop was at a thrift shop and they didn’t have any “at this time.” We then went to Walmart. I had to do a lot of walking to find someone to help us and then to find the area we wanted. They didn’t have anything but folding chairs. As we were leaving, my upper left leg began to tighten up on me. I wasn’t sure of what was going on. I asked Jim to bring the car up near the entrance. He did.
He decided we’d go get something to eat at a buffet restaurant. I told him, I would wait in the car. I had to tell him how much my leg hurt. I actually got profane about it.
I immediately felt I had sinned.
At the buffet, he dropped me off at the door and went and parked the car. He helped me get my food. He went and got the car and met me at the front door when we left.
Prayer: Dear Father God; Please forgive us when we sin. Guide our paths and our words as we face difficult issues in our lives. Help us to stand for you as we face certain unusual events in our walk through this life. In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.
