—Psalm 86:8-13
by: Susan Bond.
My desire and ability to love the Lord with all my heart are dependent on God's desire to continually work with me. I am glad that his act of creation didn't stop after seven days. David prayed, "Create in me a pure heart.grant me a willing spirit to sustain me.give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name" (Psalm 51:10, 12 and 86:11b). Paul prayed for the Ephesians, "I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened.that you may know.his incomparably great power.which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead.." (Ephesians 1:18-20m, NIV). I am thankfully confident that "he who began a good work in [me] will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:6b, NIV).
