There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (2) For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. (3) For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, (4) in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.... What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Lord, what a summary of the Good News of the Gospel. You provided a perfect description of life in the Kingdom, we defaced it and ruined its application, You provided a righteous sacrifice to restore Shalom and the perfection of the Law. Then You, through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, fulfilled the Law in Your redeemed people so that we may live according to the righteousness, peace and joy of the Kingdom.

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath. Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled. My soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O LORD--how long? Turn, O LORD, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love. For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise?

Lord, lift me up, fill my heart with an overflowing love for You. Let that be the levee that stands between me and the torrent of sin and corruption spewing from the world all around me. Keep me safe and pure for Your sake, for the glory and honor of Your name. Praise You, my Lord and my Master.

It is the rejoicing in You that is an exultation of You, that is a covering of protection and favor.

Right back to filling my mouth with Your praises arms me with the two-edged sword of Your Word

Lord, give me awareness of any evil that dwells in me, Is there any selfishness? Any greed? Any lust? Any other gods? Any pride, even little wisps? Any conceit? Any sloth? What evidences of evil lie in my soul and must be rooted out? Help me through the power of Your Holy Spirit.

To the choirmaster: the flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning. Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray. O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.

Hear me, my Lord, as I cry out now, repenting of the many, many lapses of attention, ignoring You until I need You. This is wicked, I treat You as a cafeteria of blessings and helps when I recognize that I have a problem and am indifferent to your rich presence and oblivious to You when I do not. This is wicked. This is evidence of sin that still has a stronghold in my heart. I join with David in crying, “Create in me a clean heart, O, Lord and do not withhold Your Spirit from me.”
