Day 129 – Psalm 51
“Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion…” Psalm 51:18a
THE GOOD PLEASURE OF GOD
The concept of God’s good pleasure is well discussed in the writings of the apostle Paul. In his epistle to the Ephesians, Paul wrote about “the good pleasure” of God with reference to the following:-
1. The good pleasure of God’s will (Ephesians 1:5, 9).
2. God’s will was that Gentiles (all mankind) should be heirs of God in Christ (Ephesians 3:6).
PRAYER FOR GOD’S GOOD PLEASURE TOWARDS ZION
David now turned his thoughts away from himself, away from his sin-problem. His heart of concern must now be devoted to his people Israel, and Zion, the holy city of God.
“Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;
Build the walls of Jerusalem.”
Psalm 51:18
