Psalm 51:10-12 10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
This has been my prayer the past few days for my life & the lives of those around me. That I would walk in purity as a man of God, that I would always walk/act out of the spirit & not the flesh, that God would continue to unleash his spirit on my life in an incredibe way, & that he would be my joy. These verses freakin pump me up! When I read these verse I feel like I could do 5 triathlons & wrestle a bear(and win of course) all in one day! It's so important as men & woman of God to walk in purity & not be involved in sexual sin. In 1 Corinthians 6:18 Paul tells us to flee from sexual sin, I know this is a HUGE issue for most people(grade school, junior high, high school, college, EVERYONE) I heard a pastor say that 99% of men have struggled with sexual sin at one point in their life, the other 1% struggle with lying! I will rip you apart inside, it will haunt you. Is one night of sex(out of marriage) worth a lifetime of pain & hurt? No, absolutely not! There is hope to be free from these struggles, that freedom is in Jesus. (Romans 8:2) It's interesting that it says in verse 18 "all other sins man commits are outside his body" I think it's important to notice that it's a heart issue here. In Psalm 51 at the end of that chapter David begins to say "You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings." He is saying this because it's not about sacrificing a goat or bull its about the heart. God wants your heart more than anything else! Give it to him & let him do heart surgery on you! Get accountability, beg God to change your heart. That's my prayer for you! Love you all! Be Blessed!
