God Makes Us Right Again

I mentioned in an earlier entry in my journal that I have taken up reading a couple of books that are "Daily Devotionals".  You know them.  They have an inspirational thought for each day of the year.  From "Grace For The Moment", by Max Lucado, August 31st brought me this gem to ponder:
                                    God Makes Us Right Again
"Create in me a pure heart, God, and make my spirit right again."  Psalm 51:10
"We are thirsty.  Not thirsty for fame, possessions, passion, or romance.  We've drunk from those pools.  They are salt water in the desert.  They don't quench--They kill."
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness...."
"RIGHTEOUSNESS.  That's it.  That's what we are thirsty for.  We're thirsty for a clean conscience.  We crave a clean slate.  We yearn for a fresh start.  We pray for a hand that will enter the dark cavern of our world and do for us the one thing we can't do for ourselves---make us right again."

As my spiritual awakening continues to blow my mind, I am amazed at how He seems to be speaking directly to ME.  The more that I think I know, the less I really DO know.  That much is fairly evident.  And the journey continues.............
