Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity
And cleanse me from my sin.
Psalms 51:2
David wrote those pleading words after he had sinned with Bathsheba. He cried out for cleansing.
There are times in my life when I must cry out to God to cleanse me. And, just as the waters rush overt the rocks in a stream, His Spirit will flood me and make me "whiter than snow."
That cleansing is only the first step. Later in Psalms 51 David implores the Lord to "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalms 51:10 He knew, and we all must know that once we are cleansed, we must change our heart and be for steadfast in our future.
Today, and every day, I pray that I will seek to be cleansed and purpose to create a new heart.
