Who is the Holy Spirit?

The Holy Spirit is a person.

The Holy Spirit is God.

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity.

The Holy Spirit along with God the Father and God the Son is to be believed in, loved, obeyed, and worshiped

Psalms 52-59 are an incredible collection of Psalms written during the season in which David was fleeing for his life from King Saul.

Yet despite the perils David faced, David declared repeatedly that his trust was in the Lord.  David's refuge was in the shadow of God's wings (Ps. 57:1)!

Our work matters to God.  Work was given as a good gift before the fall of humankind.

We should bring to our work:  energy and enthusiasm, wholeheartedness,  and excellence.

Should Christians keep a day of rest?  What about Sabbath or Saturday versus Sunday?  How does rest help?  How might we keep a day of rest?

After confessing his sin and requesting to be cleansed, David also asks God to restore him and then he promises to teach others the lessons he has learned.

Paul prays that we will glorify God!

Perhaps a tough message for a society focused upon self.  But Paul's prayer begs the question, "Whose glory am I seeking?"

David prays: purge me with hyssop; wash me; blot out my iniquities.

Hyssop was used for sprinkling with blood.  The blood of an innocent victim sprinkled on something or someone was a sign of cleansing.

If you trust in Christ, you have been cleansed by the blood of THE innocent victim, Jesus.

What can wash away our sins?  Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
