Memory Verse:
Create
in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me
from your presence, and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the
joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. Psalm 51:10-12
Create in me a clean heart, O God.
A clean heart—morally and ethically pure.
This is a plea for purification of the heart. The heart being the innermost
part of a person—the soul or conscience, the will or intellect, the center of
the emotions, passions and courage—is the controller our lives. Paul wrote to Timothy
about Christians having genuine faith and a pure heart—filled with love. A
clear conscience will certainly result in a pure heart.
The
purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that
comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.
1 Timothy 1:5
How is your heart? Is your conscience clear
or do you feel the need for the purification of your heart? Sure. We all know
that at one time or another…we have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory…His
will for our lives. We need God to create in each of us…a clean heart.
Who
can say, "I have cleansed my heart; I am pure and free from sin"?
Proverbs 20:9
Prayer
~ Dear Jesus, create in me a clean heart. Only You, Lord God can cleanse my
heart and purify my very soul. I am trusting You. Thank You for caring about me…and
loving me so much.
