Create In Me A Clean Heart!
“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be
clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy
and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create
in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.,
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy Holy Spirit
from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me
with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and
sinners shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from blood
guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing
aloud of thy righteousness. O Lord open thou my lips; and my mouth
shall shew forth thy praise.” psalm 51: 7-15.
Bad odors rise up from a dirty and
cluttered basement. Likewise, bad attitudes and negative ideas
germinate in the depths of the heart of people whose minds have not
been thoroughly purged of the residue of former things that were
contrary to the will of God and not pleasing to him. The bible tells
us that we need to have the inner man, or our heart of hearts, ( our
sub conscious minds), renewed and washed daily in order to be rid of
the bits of sin that so easily beset us and cause a bad stench to
rise up from within us, and cast a bad reflection on the works of
God. we need to take a bath, as it were, in the word of God daily,
and ask God to wash us with the water of his word and make us clean,
and create in us a clean heart.
