“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10 (King James).Some pray this scripture during communion and others have it highlighted in their bibles. Some read it daily and some bodies of believers have it as their theme. This is part of the prayer David prayed to God after he had committed adultery with Bathsheba.
Being human like us, David had many faults. But he worked hard at having a relationship with God and he knew the importance of having a repenting heart.
The things that separate us from God are always before us and our flesh is weak. We fall to sin daily. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23 (King James)
God is alive and he is full of mercy, great compassion, and unfailing love. He will blot out our transgressions, wash away all our iniquity and cleanse us from our sin. He is a mighty fortress that can restore us.
But like David, a man after God’s own heart, we must ask for repentance and learn to repent. God’s holy word tells us in Mark 1:15 (NLT) “The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!"
Father God ~ Thank you for sending your son, Jesus, to fix our broken lives. You and only you can send your Holy Spirit down on us. Please do. Drench us with your loving spirit. Make us more like your son and may others see you in us. In the good and great name of Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen!
