In His Image
Create in me a new, clean heart, O God, filled with clean thoughts and right desires.
–Psalm 51:10 (TLB)
You were created in the image and likeness of God. You were made for
God’s fellowship, and your heart can never be satisfied without His
communion. Just as iron is attracted to a magnet, the soul in its state
of hunger is drawn to God. Though you, like thousands of others, may
feel in the state of sin that the world is more alluring and more to
your liking, some day—perhaps even now as you read these words—you will
acknowledge that there is something deep down inside you which cannot be
satisfied by the alloy of earth. Then with David, the Psalmist who had
sampled the delicacies of sin and had found them unsatisfying, you will
say, “Oh God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth
for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no
water is.”
Prayer for the day
How I long for You, God, yet so often my heart is drawn away from Your leading. Like David, I desire a clean heart.
