create in me a clean heart,
o God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
this verse has been really encouraging to me today. i guess maybe thought that david felt the need to ask God to CREATE not even clean his old heart, but to create a new clean heart in him and to renew his steadfast spirit is encouraging to me. david was as a the bible states, "a man after God's own heart" and he felt the need to ask God to work these miracles in him. it also show's david's humility. he was willing to ask. that can be really hard sometimes. it's a lot easier to tell God, not ask God. anyways just a couple thoughts.
i have really enjoyed meditating on this verse today. it got me to thinking about cleaning in some of the physical aspects of life (ie the bathroom). if you ask any of my close friends they will tell you that neatness and organization are not my strong points, but i am working on developing that skill in my life.
it's clean! (guess who chose the color?! ;))
my bed is made! this is a miracle! :P
and my shoes for today :) i love how on the outside they look plain and conservative, but inside they're bright pink and sparkly and shiny!
Great thoughts on that, Deanna! The Scripture says that we are made righteous by Him and through faith. Hebrews 11:6 states, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
