Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit. Psalm 51:12
David had experiencedhigh and righteous living as king of Israel. While still sitting on the throne, his life had become an empty shell of guilt and regret. His adultery and the death of his son had filled him with despair. When finally confronted by a prophet, he begged for forgiveness. He asked God to restore and sustain the joy of God's salvation. Does that touch us? Are we sitting in church smiling, but we have become an empty shell of sin and regret? Let's ask God for restoration, and He will do it. Will we?
