GOD's Covenant part-1 Discussion

Our Scriptures Of The Week Is:

Psalm 51:10-12 KJVS 
[10] Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 
[11] Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 
[12] Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Because we are born as sinners, we naturally want to please ourselves rather than God. David followed that inclination when he took another man’s wife. We also follow it when we sin in any way. 

Like David, we must ask God to cleanse us from within, clearing our hearts and spirits for new thoughts and desires. Godly conduct can come only from a clean heart and spirit. Ask God to create a clean heart and spirit in you.

Do you ever feel stagnant in your faith, as though you are just going through the motions? 

Has sin ever driven a wedge between you and God, making Him seem distant? 

David felt this way. He had sinned with Bathsheba and had just been confronted by Nathan the prophet. In his prayer he cried, “Restore to me the joy of your salvation.” 

God wants us to be close to Him and to experience His full and complete life. But sin that remains unconfessed makes such intimacy impossible. Confess your sin to God. You may still have to face earthly consequences, as David did, but God will return the joy of your relationship with Him.
