“A RIGHT SPIRIT!”
Psalm 51:10
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
Careful, your attitude is showing! Many times I have had to remind myself of that spiritual truth. It seems that every time I stop to consider my attitude, Psalm 51:10 comes to mind.
It is not an easy process for us to change our attitude. We may know what the Bible says about living a Christ-like life, but it is not so easy to put it into practice. There always seems to be too much of "us" and too little of Christ in us.
How do we move from knowing about a Christ-like life to putting it into practice? I think the answer is to be found in today’s Scripture. It is not what we do, but what Christ has done for us. Too many times we struggle and strain trying to be good enough to change. It does not work!
There is only one way to have a RIGHT SPIRIT. That is to acknowledge that we are incapable of making the change in ourselves and yield our self will to His will. Jesus paid the price for our salvation, and He also has sent the Holy Spirit to do what we can never do. So what is our part? YIELDING!
The next time we sense our self-centered attitude rising, let's commit ourselves to admitting that it is only by the Lord’s help that we can change.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
