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

Due to time constraints this week, I am offering this time
of worship. Please take some time and deeply
listen to this worship song preformed by Keith Green. Let the words sink deeply into your heart and
spirit. Sing them from your heart, not
your mind. Meditate upon the words.
I encourage you to use this time to prepare yourself for
the season of Lent (this will be addressed in a future post) and Easter. Open yourself to what the Lord has to say to
you during this time of worship and preparation.

Stay alert; I plan to have a post on Ash Wednesday soon.
Please join with me in prayer:
Loving Lord, Thank You for how willing You create a clean
heart within us; all we have to do is humbly ask You to cleanse us. Fill us with the desire to crave nothing more
than a clean heart and your presence.
Direct our focus to search our hearts and confess our sins and receive
the forgiveness You so richly provide us.
Thank You for the renewing and refreshing presence of Your Holy Spirit
within us. Prepare us to deeply ponder
all that Jesus did for us on His journey to the cross. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
From My Heart to Yours,
Kim
So enjoyed the song and the change of pace, Kim. Yes, may the Lord cleanse our hearts and renew a right spirit in us all!

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the song and change of pace, Martha. It was the post that needed to be written, even if I wasn't aware of it at the time! Praying for the Lord to cleanse hearts and renew a right spirit in each of us.

Hi Kim! I know that Lent is coming up so fast, next week already! And what a perfect song and bible passage to use just before we enter into this holy season.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved that passage, a true crying out for a holier life, and a purer attitude too. Thank you for the reminder that Lent is preparation for Easter, but that we can prepare for Lent too.
Blessings,
Ceil
Hi Ceil! It's hard to believe that Lent is nearly here! Thank you for your kind comments on the song and Scripture. Crying out for cleansing of our hearts and a desire to live a holy life should be pleasing to God. Yes, preparing seems to be a way of life for Christians. Not only do we prepare for certain seasons, we should also prepare our hearts and minds for worship--to be attentive to what God has to say to us.
DeleteHave blessed weekend!
Kim
