Psalm 51:10
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
You were created in the image and likeness of God. You were made
for God’s fellowship, and your heart can never be satisfied without His
communion. Just as iron is attracted to a magnet, the soul in its state of
hunger is drawn to God. Though you, like thousands of others, may feel in the
state of sin that the world is more alluring and more to your liking, some
day-perhaps even now as you read these words-you will acknowledge that there is
something deep down inside you which cannot be satisfied by the alloy of earth.
Then with David, the Psalmist who had sampled the delicacies of sin and had
found them unsatisfying, you will say, “Oh God, thou art my God; early will I
seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and
thirsty land, where no water is.”
Prayer for the day
How I long for You, God, yet so often my heart is drawn away from
Your leading. Like David, I desire a clean heart.
