Today’s Thought “Why Awaken Me?” G. Ward

Psalm 51

³ For I know my wrongdoings, and my sin is constantly before me.
⁴ Against You, You only, I have sinned and done what is evil in Your sight,
So that You are justified when You speak and blameless when You judge.

And Lord God, intimacy with You – mandates our praise. The Prophet Isaiah referred to You as WONDERFUL because Your glory is matchless and whereas access to You confounds our souls; particularly as we look within, unfolding unfaithfulness and blatant disregard of Your commands – bowing low and asking that You alone be the Lifter of our heads. How excellent is Your patience and lovingkindness towards us, in having chose us before the foundation of the world You made and while it pleases us that the Holy One knows our name, may our meditations recall that our new image should reflect Your holiness. May our ambassadorship increase onto any, unified in Jesus and HIS gospel, eliminating blanket statements of praising You as a substitute for introducing Your love for those You’ve purposed to be called Your own and may their repentance delight in how our instruction furthered - keeps our eyes on the prize of Your salvation unto us, through Jesus, Amen.
