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 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
