Ps 51:6 Behold, Thou dost desire truth in the intermost being, And in the hidden part Thou wilt make me know wisdom.
When one asks for God to reveal truth in the inward parts I suppose one is expecting that He will show them sin. Some kind of a transgression that they are guilty of.
Perhaps like David they have been made aware that they are outwardly sinning but inwardly had not really been convicted. Yet David knew he ought to be convicted, so he asked, give me truth.
David's faith in God's forgiveness gave him the boldness to request such knowledge. As I become more aware of God's great compassion and ability to give great mercy and grace, I too become bolder and able to ask for truth in my inward parts.
And to make me know wisdom.
Just knowing about a transgression doesn't do me much good unless there is some wisdom to go along with it to inform me as to how to not repeat the transgression again.
Sin pointed out by another person does little to help me , unless I take that information to God and pray this prayer.

I have for so long made this my prayer asking for truth in my inward parts that I failed to realize that David was stating a fact. God desires truth, in our innermost being.
I think my having a desire for truth is most important. When I think I do not really have to know the truth about something I am trying to slip back into an apathetic state of hypocrisy. Although not knowing the truth might seem like an easier course because truth will always require some action.
However, once again I remind myself , I have the hope of wisdom, as David requested of the LORD so might I also receive.

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 2 Peter 1:5-7
If you read the verses before this you realize Peter is talking about having a new nature that is given us through Jesus Christ. I find it comforting that even though I am in a time far from the time he wrote these words , they still give me the hope and help that I need today. When I read 2 Peter 1 this morning in blueletterbible.com I clicked the L beside scripture 5 and selected David Gusik's comments on this chapter. He too has a way of helping me see that though I be but one pilgrim today on my journey, I am not alone . Which is indeed a blessing, because he is still alive. However, had I not the computer to bring me the news of his encouragement I am sure that God in His faithfulness would supply my need somehow.
If you have come to read my from My Green Pastures today, I thank-you. Let us press on and not give up.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corth. 9-10 Those reproaches, those necessities, I found that interesting. He took pleasure in necessities, like needing to make tents for an income?

John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
I think another translation says, "you have no part of me."
What a statement to be made to people who were just getting to like you ! Jesus certainly was not interested in winning a popularity contest. He saw His time on earth as our most valuable visual aid yet, to come to the Father through Him. He did not have time to worry about being popular. He was concerned with giving truth !
Looking at the whole chapter we see this was at a time of Jesus most popular high. He had just fed the 5,000, He had just walked on the water, people who had doubted before of His being the Son of God were now sure, until He said this.
As He was doing all that He did , surely the scribes were pondering the prophesies of old. I know some did not believe , because of the old transcripts. The way they read it, this man could not be the Messiah. Others read and believed. I have a record of the prophesies that Jesus fulfilled , there were 44. This proves that the old testament was beneficial to believers then and is today.
What did they have in the old testament that went along with what He just said in John 6:53 ? What could help them understand that He was the Messiah when He said that ? Well, they ate the lamb, for one thing. The unblemished lamb that was given as a sacrifice for their sins , now He was trying to help them understand He was the lamb to be slain for them.

Acts 11:23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
Now Barnabas had come to Jerusalem and found much to be glad about. The Christians there had received the grace of God. I can just imagine what joy this Barnabas felt. When you are a receiver of the grace of God there is joy, because this is what is referred to as "the joy of our salvation." You do not have this except that the Holy Spirit reveal it to you . When you find others who have rececived this grace , you are glad. This grace receiving , seems to be an unfolding experience. However there is a time, when you begin. I would like to find some people like Barnabas did . People who had received the grace of God.
