DAILY MEDITATIONS ON THE PSALMS

Each morning I spend 30 minutes, more or less, researching and writing on a passage of scripture. This is principally a form of spiritual self-discipline. But comments and questions are welcome.

You desire truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my 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 crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. (Psalm 51: 6-9)

We are creatures of many parts. We may choose many identities.

There is an innermost reality - a fundamental nature - that can be lost in the confusion.

Our happiness and effectiveness depend on our ability to find and keep faith with that fundamental nature.

In some churches today is an Ember Day committed to prayer and fasting. Such a day is set aside for reclaiming our fundamental selves.

This is a day for listening to our secret heart, rediscovering our inner being, and experiencing the joy and gladness of wholeness.
