I offer devotion...

"For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
..."
(Psalm 51: 3-4)

Have mercy on me Lord, for your servant has taken his eyes of You this week. I'm sorry. I'm ashamed to say I've taken my eyes of Christ my Saviour, and even more ashamed of the things I have done as a result.

Sometimes I feel like a hypocrite. I really do. I tell and encourage people to focus on Christ in all they do, and I myself am guilty of not doing that. Lord, I don't want another moment without you being the centre. Forgive me Lord, for I have not sought a true realization of Christ in all I do. I need your grace and mercy.

"Have mercy on me , O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin!
......
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow"

This my prayer O God... that I may walk in your ways always.

"Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me now way from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit
......
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
O God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
...
For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God,
you will not depise."

I'm yours Lord... I'm yours

I'm delivered but it doesn't seem right, unless I keep my eyes focused on the Saviour who gave His life...
