S - Scripture
Psalm 51 v. 12 Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold with me a willing spirit.
O - Observation
Keep your eye on the prize. The prize of eternal life in Heaven with Jesus. This is a prize that truly is indescribable. 1 Corinthians 2 v. 9, "But as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him." So if this is such an awesome prize, why do we ask for a "willing spirit?" Quite simple. We are at war. There is a very specific enemy. His purpose is clear. John 12 v. 10a, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy." and... 1 Peter 5 v. 8b, "Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to destroy." We are constantly being bombarded with things that dull our awareness of the prize. Idea's and temporal things that reflect the moment. The things we can see, hear and perceive. Thus the cry for a willing spirit and faith for the things not yet seen.
A - Application
Am I keeping my eye on the Prize?
