"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
-Psalms 51:10 (NASB)
-Psalms 51:10 (NASB)
Just like a desk during busy times at work or a house in the midst of a hectic schedule can get cluttered, our hearts can get cluttered during our daily routines and tasks. We may still know where things are in the midst of the clutter, but we lose our focus. There comes a point when we must stop and "de-clutter" to preserve our efficiency and effectiveness. We also must take time to de-clutter our hearts so that we can continue to serve God to our fullest potential.
When it comes to de-cluttering our hearts, we must rely on God to help with the task. Only God can truly purify our hearts, so, like the Psalmist (Psalms 51:10), we should begin by stopping and asking God to purify our hearts. With a purified heart, we can be renewed in Him, ready to face the world in His spirit and serve Him to the best of our abilities!
Spend time with God and allow Him to purify and renew your heart, then head out to serve Him!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your willingness to purify my heart and renew Your spirit in me. Help me to take Your renewed spirit and use it to serve You. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
