—Psalm 51:10-19
by: Gem Barton.
In the earlier verses of this psalm, King David asked God to blot out his transgressions. In these verses, he asked God to cleanse his heart and renew his spirit. He pleaded with God not to take away His Holy Spirit. No doubt, David had witnessed the emptiness King Saul experienced when God removed the Holy Spirit from him. He obviously did not want the same thing to happen to him. There will be times when you fall and need to be restored. Turn your heart to the Lord at those times. If we confess our sins, God will forgive us (1 John 1:9).
