Scripture:
Psalms 51: 6 & 7
Behold, you desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Observation:
King David is reaching out to God to ask for repentance of many sins. Though he was great King and was successful King with God's favor, he committed many since along he reign. King David is repenting to God to show mercy upon him to forgive his transgressions and to fight the daily sins. He knows that he is unable to fight the battle by himself, and we need our ultimate fighter and protector to help us through.
Application:
I am no different than King David, though I call myself to be Christian or label myself as Christian, I sin daily and always. Even without knowing the actions and any glimpse of thoughts it may go through my head is sinful. To be forgiven is to accept God to come into my life and stir up old baggage and pains that I have suffered. If his way of healing and providing me wisdom is by revealing the dirty truth, I need to be strong and let God fight the battles to be washed of my sins. To be purified and cleanse comes with the price, the price is not as greater than the nonfiction of our savior, he took the ultimate pain, now I need to allow God to work his grace and show in my actions rather than asking and not allowing God to enter to fix me and wash me.
Prayer:
Father God, open my heart to reveal my pains and sins. Help me be fearless to reveal my darkness and letting you to work in my innermost dark sins. I am afraid of the outcome, but Father I pray this process will be transparent to you and you will reveal you will and wisdom. I will find much peace and joy in my life. The pain of suffering will be no more. Let my artificial emotion be turn to be sincere joy. Let my heart healed and find the wisdom to be better person.
