Psalm 51: 11-12
“11 Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your holy spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.”
King David asked God to restore his willing spirit. A willing spirit is derived from the assurance and joy of our salvation. David no longer had this assurance.
A willing spirit gives us the courage and fortitude to live a godly life and to walk the path on which God leads us and the strength to resist worldly temptations for the sake of your relationship with God.
A willing spirit enables us to feel the deep and abiding joy of our relationship with God even in times of sacrifice and hardship…
and to be examples of Christ to the world.
May the love of Christ be with you,
Rev. Eric Lanier (Retired)
