A Chapter for Each Day

May 20th, 2010 by Jason Leave a reply »

Its one of those choked out by the world days, and my mind is apparently shallow and empty. As I opened the editor this morning, I had no idea what to write down, as you are not interested in Composite User Applications, policy and procedures and other IT mumbo jumbo.

I then remembered that my good friend Marti once said when you don’t know what to read,  head to Proverbs – there are 31 days in the months and 31 chapters – just read the one for the day.  So today on my brother’s birthday I jumped over to Proverbs 20 and found this:

9 Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure;
I am clean and without sin”?

which reminded me of a simple prayer over in Psalms 51 which is good for everyday, But something that we often forget.  Here is something that should help keep you buffeted today:

10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
