Revelation of the Word:

THEME: JOY OF THE LORD

Psalms 51:8-12 NKJV

“Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.”

INSIGHT

-King David was a man after God’s own heart. One day he decided to relax and instructed his soldiers to go fighting. He lusted after Bathsheba, Uriah’s wife and sinned against God when he was at the peak of his kingship (2 Samuel 11:1-27). He repented and asked for God’s mercy and grace which comes with the joy of the Lord and gladness through the gift of salvation. We are reminded to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. We are called to repentance and seek the face of the Lord with humility and He will uplift us as we experience His joy. 

PRAYER

Have mercy upon me O God according to Your lovingkindness, according to the multitude of Your tender mercies. May You blot out our transgressions. Wash us thoroughly from our iniquity, and cleanse us from our sin, for we acknowledge our transgressions and my sins are always before us. Against You only have we sinned, and done evil in Your sight. Behold we were brought forth in iniquity, and in sin we were conceived. Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make us to know wisdom. Purge us with hyssop, and we shall be clean. Wash us and we shall be whiter than snow. May You cleanse us from all sin Jesus and wash us with Your precious blood and renew a steadfast spirit within us. May You restore unto us the joy of Your salvation and uphold us by Your generous Spirit. May You help us to work our salvation with fear and trembling precious Holy Spirit. May You cleanse our leaders and nation with Your precious blood and prosper our land dear Jesus. May You grant us victory in all spheres of our lives. Amen
