The Daily Grind

I think the most important and defining part of my day comes when I take a minute and acknowledge who I am in Christ. Anything before this in my day I am doing in my own power and for my own purposes. Anything after this in my day is redeemable.

Psalm 51:10-12 (NLT)¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a loyal spirit within me.
¹¹ Do not banish me from your presence,
and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.

¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and make me willing to obey you.

 

 

The song version of this verse has been rolling through my head all morning.  I find that when I am tired and melancholy it is because my heart has grown weary of my first Love.  Restoration and renewal are such beautiful words to a weary heart.

 

Today, let us praise Him with shouts of laughter that we might would be a light to those around us.
