Psalm 64:6
“For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.”
The evil that we seek, the distance we try to place between us and You, O Lord, lie deeper within us than we can fathom on our own. We require Your word, Your Spirit to pierce to our very joint and marrow to root out our rebellion and desire to be our own god.
Only when my heart is quickened with desire for You over myself can Your Spirit begin to dig out this that is rooted deep within me.
I confess that often I do not want You as ought, but I know that even my wanting to want You pleases You. Draw me to Yourself in spite of me, my Lord, I pray. LHM/CHM
**3/3/20 This is one of what I hope will be a regular entry in my blog. This is a shift from what I have done in the past which has mostly been episodic accounts of things I experience in life. I may continue to post more of the same from time to time, but the drift of the blog, at least for now, will be my observations, prayers, questions, and grappling with the Bible as I read through it over the next two years with some friends. We are together following a 2 year reading schedule and meeting monthly to compare notes. Your comments are welcome and if you are interested in what the reading schedule looks like reply in comments and I will be glad to send it to you.
