Sight.

Psalm 51:10-12 

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.

Why was the Holy Spirit so important to David? How do you think David felt about the pestering thought that he might have to get along without the Holy Spirit?


What about you? What's it like when you feel you're without God? 
When God feels far away and it's been awhile since you've connected? 


It's a desperate feeling. We need God's Spirit to guide us, to comfort us, to restore us, to cleanse us. Just the idea- even a fleeting though- that God's Spirit might not be with us leaves us lost and vulnerable. Even frightened. 


Christ promised that the Holy Spirit would always be with us. God doesn't take the Holy Spirit from us. God restores us. Purifies us. God's Spirit is always with us.
