Scripture
Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
A Clean Heart
A short reflection to help you apply God's Word.
David wrote Psalm 51 after his sin with Bathsheba had been exposed. He did not make excuses. He asked God to do what only God can do: "Create in me a clean heart." The word create is the same word used in Genesis 1. David knew he did not need a small repair; he needed God's creative work within him. No failure is too great for that kind of renewal. Ask Him today for a clean heart and a right spirit.
