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 – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
