Today’s Scripture: Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10 ESV
How comforting to know it is God who creates a clean heart in us. Like David here in Psalm 51, I offer my unclean heart to God. I know, despite my efforts, I cannot create a clean heart nor renew the right spirit within me.
I am thankful to know as David states again in Psalm 51:17 that the sacrifice God wants from us is a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart. Even I can do that; I can offer God my brokenness.
Here in my brokenness and my powerlessness is where God creates a clean heart and renews my spirit. His Spirit overcomes my spirit. God does not reject a broken heart. Is your heart and spirit broken? Give your brokenness to God and ask Him to recreate and renew you.
God is already aware of our brokenness we just need to offer it to Him, will you? Be renewed today.
Today’s Prayer: Create in me a clean heart, O God. You know my brokenness. I know my transgressions and I lay them before You. Renew my heart and my spirit. I sacrifice all of my brokenness to You now and welcome Your renewal. Delight in my sacrifice and create Your desires in me. Amen
