“Soak me in your laundry and I’ll come out clean, scrub me and I’ll have a snow-white life. Tune me in to foot-tapping songs, set these once-broken bones to dancing. Don’t look too close for blemishes, give me a clean bill of health. God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. Don’t throw me out with the trash, or fail to breathe holiness in me. Bring me back from gray exile, put a fresh wind in my sails! Give me a job teaching rebels your ways so the lost can find their way home. Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God, and I’ll sing anthems to your life-giving ways. Unbutton my lips, dear God; I’ll let loose with your praise.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭51‬:‭7‬-‭15‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Yesterday I shared Psalm 51:10-12 from the New International Version Bible. For the rest of the week I will discuss various parts of Psalm 51.

This Mindset Monday, let’s reflect on The Message version and in particular “God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.” What a refreshing and comforting thought! No matter what craziness is going on in my life, God is able to create a new beginning! Do you need a fresh start today? Do you need a do over?

Just like the beautiful sunrise in today’s picture, you and I can also rise and shine with the promise of a Genesis week! Let’s greet today and begin our week with a positive attitude filled with the promises of God.
