80Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.

Remember that the knowledge of God as your Creator demands that you fear Him, honour Him, and obey His word. Have you surrendered your life to God through Jesus Christ His Son? You can do this now by repenting, confessing and accepting Him as your Lord and Saviour. When you truly do this, the Spirit of God will bear witness in your heart and the grace to live for Him will be deposited in you.
Further Reading: Ecclesiastes 12:1
Prayer for today: Lord, I humbly surrender my life to You as my Creator.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
