Behold, You delight in truth in the inward being, and You teach me wisdom in the secret heart. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that You have broken rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away 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.

You have purged me with the blood of the Lamb. Freely offered and accepted. My sins and iniquities You remember no more.

But Lord, the consequences remain, those stains and brokenness need bleaching and repair. Therefore my cry is to create a clean, new heart within me, to cut out the spirit of the old man and replace it with your Spirit.

When I don't listen and obey, I do lose the joy of Your salvation. Forgive me, Lord and restore me to Your presence. Lead me in the Way Everlasting.

A combination of circumastnces has made it necessary  to republish a series of meditations and prayers from very early in the history of Voices Together.  Lord willing, I will be back on track with the 91st Psalm next week.

Great is your mercy, O LORD; give me life according to your rules.

It is Your mercy that I have life in the Kingdom; it is Your grace that provides the rules that define where the boundaries of the Kingdom are; it is Your love that brought me into this scared place. You are indeed, the merciful God.

Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on your servants! Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, and for as many years as we have seen evil. Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!

Let me see the joy of my salvation, that my labors result in the peace that passes all understanding, in that state of knowing that I am serving in the sweet spot of Your glorious will. May Your Name be glorified through me.

Today's readings in the Psalms:

Mid-day: 119:1-8

Evening: Psalm 28

Voices Together is available as an annual daily devotional and can be purchased at the Fellowship Of Ailbe bookstore.

For we are brought to an end by your anger; by your wrath we are dismayed. You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh. The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away. Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you? So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

I have but two choices: to squander my time away or to pass it laboring in Your vineyard. Teach me through Your Holy Spirit to number my days in a way that develops wisdom and advances the Kingdom. It is only through Your Spirit that my wish to serve becomes productive in Your eyes.

You return man to dust and say, "Return, O children of man!" For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning: in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.

My life, in the eternal span, is but an instant in Your eyes but You know my every thought, my every action. Thank You for the love and grace that tends my every moment and gives me the opportunity to glorify You.

A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

Lord, how do I spend my day? Do I fritter away precious time on FaceBook and specious e-mails? Do I organize and allot my time to maximize the time spent with You and Your Word? Or in pursuit of those tasks and ministries You have assigned to me?
