Change My Heart, o God

O that You would kill the wicked, O God;
Go away from me, therefore, men of bloodshed.
For they speak against You wickedly,
Your enemies take Your name in vain.
Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
I hate them with perfect and utmost hatred;
They have become my enemies.
Psalms 139:19-22

Change my heart, oh God 
Make it ever true
Change my heart, oh God 
May I be like You

You are the Potter
I am the clay
Mold me and make me 
This is what I pray

{friends, this week the verses from Psalm 139 that our devotionals will focus on are not the prettiest…not the most praise-filled…not any thoughts to emulate.  these thoughts of the psalmist are a response, a reaction to things happening in his life…and his outraged cries to his God.  what a gracious God that He allowed him to speak from the depths of his heart…and that He allowed us to read and ‘hear’ these words.  we, too, at times respond like this to evil and persecution.  But we know that Jesus taught that LOVE is the response…and to NOT hate our enemies.  as such, like the psalmist, we need to change our thinking, our responses.  we need God to help us to change our heart.  This song is a great tool to do so.  I pray for you (please pray for me, too!) that we will seek God asking Him to change us, to mold us, to help us to be like Him.}
