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.

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

Daily D – Psalm 9:10

Psalm 9:10 “Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.”

Daily D – Jonah 1:13-16

Jonah 1:13-16 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. Then they cried out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.” Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him.

Daily D – Amos 7:12-15

Amos 7:12-15
Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there. Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom.”

Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees. But the LORD took me from tending the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ Now then, hear the word of the LORD.

Daily D – Amos 4:12-13

Amos 4:12, 13
“Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel,
and because I will do this to you, Israel,
prepare to meet your God.”

He who forms the mountains,
who creates the wind,
and who reveals his thoughts to mankind,
who turns dawn to darkness,
and treads on the heights of the earth—
the Lord God Almighty is his name.
