S.E.E.D. For Today___Restore
Scripture "Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me." Psalms 51:12 NIV
David was a man who definitely journaled and talked to God this is why we have the psalms today. In his brokenness of admitting his sin he pens these words unto to the Lord. He starts out by crying out to God to have mercy upon, according to His unfailing love and great compassion, with that to please blot out his transgressions to wash away all of his iniquity and cleanse him from his sin. Sin leaves us ripped and broken. Ripped and torn in our wants, pleasure vs. God's will. Broken when we fail to choose the latter and needing His grace to bring us back into the previous state we were in our hearts and minds wth Him. Sin interrupts experiencing the joy we had in receiving salvation how special it was, how excited we were the joy was so great it was hard to contain, but in our walk we fall and during those seasons of the choices of the flesh we lose the joy of being saved. We end up regretting our salvation and murmur that we were better off than before salvation. I realize this is sin's goal to separate me from God, from the joy and peace that we received from the gift of salvation. God restore the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to keep me and strengthen me to obey You.
Example Restore is to bring back into a previous state, right, practice, custom or situation. To reinstate, reinstall. To return (someone or something) to a former condition or position.

Exercise Psalms 51:1-13 Journal and Talk to God
Devotion Lord I know my transgressions and my sin is always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned and done wrong in Your sight. Cleanse me and I will be clean. Create in me a clean heart and do not cast me from Your presence, or take Your Holy Spirit from me. I think You for restoration I need the joy of Your salvation and a willing spirit that I remain sustained in Your way. The joy of the Lord is my strength, restore unto me my right mind that I may follow You forever and see the beauty of God's righteousness in Jesus Name Amen.
Amen!!!
