Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
Psalm 51:6
Father, what a beautiful image of Who You are and what You do for me! You correct and rebuke the errors and foolishness which my heart often harbors, teaching me what it is to know You, love You and serve You. And as I shed these foolish ways, my appetite slowly not being satisfied by their temporal fancy, You look upon me with delight, loving the change that is taking place in my inner being, watching how I long for and gravitate towards Your truth. As I think on this reality, my mind immediately goes to Zephaniah’s glorious image of You looking over me with singing (Zephaniah 3:17), reminded that I am a crown of beauty to you (Isaiah 62:3-5), and that You love me with an everlasting love (Psalm 103:17)! Hallelujah!
So Father as I gravitate towards those words, “you teach me wisdom in the secret heart”, I must confess I need a dose of Your wisdom today and everyday as I deal with my brokenness and the brokenness of those I am in contact with daily. How can I know what to say, when to say it, and how to say it if I don’t have Your wise insights? How can I lean in and truly bless when I am asked for assistance if I do not have Your wisdom? I need for Your Spirit to continue to transform my inward being into the image of Christ, showing me my “stinking thinking” and its errors. Grant me Your wisdom today and everyday. Show me what it truly means to think Your thoughts after You.
I so love You and want to please You. What’s more, I know that I am better when I am responding to the world and everything around me as You would. Help me to be more like You.
