Today’s Thought “Feelings: The Story of Many Troubles” G. Ward

Psalm 51:12

 “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.”

 

King David would experience great unrest as he’d identify with principles of self-gratification; leading him onto a murderous plot, particularly after victimizing himself in a heinous, adulterous affair. Strangely, his spiritual foundation would enable tremendous remorse with utter shame as he’d contemplate the Lord at watch (Ps.51:3-4). Every believer is plagued in similar disconnect and they too have been given the same avenue David insisted from himself (vv.6-13).

Repentance is often misunderstood; it’s largely due to the pervasive thought that has many pouncing on believers when indiscretion plagues them and whereas our excuses are lessened (daily), as submission to an everyday plan-o-gram endeavored (*2 Ti.2:15), teaches us how to walk as Christ did, the reasonable understand imperfections from mere men. Contrition, although an honorable virtue must decide that repeat of a violation, particularly, while an Omni-Present God is at watch, lives in the realm of one’s existential Savior and not for man’s castigations (cf. Matt.10:28). Are any prepared to trust and obey?
