Restore to me the joy of your salvation and
grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
- Psalm 51:12
As I was reading along and came to this verse, something very simply struck me about it. This may sound a little strange, but it was the location of the comma.
For some reason, the location of that comma jumped out at me. Maybe I’m reading a little to much into this, perhaps I am looking too hard for things to sustain me. But it’s not just the joy of our salvation that sustains us, it is the joy of our salvation, combined with a willing spirit.
If you find yourself struggling at times, remember that the joy of our salvation goes a long way, but we need that willing spirit as well. God will sustain us when we come to him filled with joy over our salvation, and with a humble and willing spirit.
