Awakened By The Holy Spirit
There are certain Psalms that resonate with the spirit of a saved person, and Psalm 32 is one such sacred song. It opens with David considering how blessed are those whose transgression are forgiven and whose sins are covered.
The saved celebrate his grace, because they have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God's illuminating light and perfect peace. He rejoices that his human spirit has been Awakened By The Holy Spirit and instead of being enslaved to sin, at enmity with God, under eternal condemnation, and without hope in the world, they become part of God's new creation in Christ, and are promised joy in the eternal ages to come.
When lessons have been learned and fellowship is restored and maintained, God always brings us into closer communion with Him. We will not only hear His voice saying: "This is the way, walk in it," but He will guide us with His eye, teach us greater truths, extend our understanding of Himself and deepen our intimacy in a very precious and personal way.
Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, there are many times when we have failed to listen to Your voice, gone our own way, and fallen flat on our face! Thank You that we can confess our faults to You, and that You are faithful and just to forgive all our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Help us to grow in grace, mature in our faith, and draw ever closer to You. Keep us alert to your instructions, show us the path we should follow, and guide us with Your eye, we pray. How wonderful to know that You have scheduled every day of our lives for our greater benefit. May we never stray from Your perfect path, and may our lives be godly witnesses to others and blessings to You. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
