Psalm 51:10 
”God, create a clean heart for me and renew a steadfast spirit within me.“ (CSB)

God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. (MSG)

Pure hearts and clean hands are seldom lauded, but by the denizens of heaven, they are applauded. They are also a heavenly requirement. How can we receive the necessary washing and renewal? Pray with King David. (Psalm 51, especially verse 10.)

God creates us with clean hearts. When we dirty them up, he recreates, renews, and restores them. He also sustains them. (See verse 12.)

Jesus said, ”Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God“
(‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭CSB‬‬.) Someone added, “and they are the only ones who want to.”

True. 

How about you?

(Passing a mirror) And how about me?

The necessary sanitizer is unavailable in little plastic bottles. The soil of a soul is removed only by heavenly help. Some stains resist all remedies. There is a blood that washes white as snow, as clean as clean can be. What Jesus did on the cross truly sets us free from the accursed spots and stains of our sins.

King David was a mess until he came clean. As famous as his sin is his repentance. 

Today’s a good day to come clean with God. He will create in you, at your request, a pure heart and clean hands. (See Psalm 24:4.)

I will confess my sins and receive God’s purifying and cleansing washing.

Our Father, I pray with King David: “Completely wash away my guilt and cleanse me from my sin. . . . Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. . . . Turn your face away from my sins and blot out all my guilt. God, create a clean heart for me and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 92:12-15

Psalm 92:12-15
The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
Planted in the house of the LORD,
they thrive in the courts of our God.
They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green,
to declare, “The LORD is just;
he is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him.”

Daily D – Matthew 22:15-17

Matthew 22:15-17 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap him by what he said. So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are truthful and teach truthfully the way of God. You don’t care what anyone thinks nor do you show partiality. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

Daily D – Psalm 90:12

Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.

Daily D – Matthew 17:1-9

Matthew 17:1-9 After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. He was transfigured in front of them, and his face shone like the sun; his clothes became as white as the light. Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it’s good for us to be here. If you want, I will set up three shelters here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown and were terrified.
Jesus came up, touched them, and said, “Get up; don’t be afraid.” When they looked up they saw no one except Jesus alone.
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don’t tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”

Daily D – Matthew 15:34

Matthew 15:34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked them. “Seven,” they said, “and a few small fish.”
