Ps 51:8-10 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
KJV
Part of David’s prayer of repentance asks God to renew a right spirit within him. That is one of the problems of our day, keeping a right spirit within. So many distractions today, so many temptations, so much evil set before us that it becomes almost impossible to keep a right spirit within. That is why joy and gladness is missing from so many lives today as those were missing from David’s life as well. We need a right spirit within, a willingness to be filled with the Spirit of God and allow Him to control our spirit. Our spirit can be moved away from our God, can be given to fear and doubt, can give in to temptation and sin, can lack joy and gladness. Not so with the Holy Spirit of God that dwells within each and every born again child of God, so we need to be yielded and filled with His Spirit and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us through this world and bring us ever closer to our dear Lord and Savior. How to be filled with His Spirit? Begin this day in His Word, followed by a time in prayer, meditate upon the things of God and ask to be kept from sin. Those are the first steps in being Spirit filled and led but they must be followed if we truly want that right spirit within. But are we willing to do those things day by day?
