FREE TO CLEAN HOUSE!
Psalm 51:10 – Devotional
Psalm 51:10
“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.”
A born-again believer has been given a new life in Jesus Christ. That means the Lord gives us freedom from the sins of the past. Freedom from past sins does not mean we have the freedom to continue in those sinful ways. There needs to be a continuous cleansing of our life.
Over the many years that I have served as pastor and counselor, I have been confronted with individuals who hang onto their old sinful habits. Perhaps I should rephrase that and say that the old habits have hung onto them.
Old sinful ways should have no place in the life of a victorious believer and follower of Jesus Christ. In today’s Scripture we are told that it is possible to be shortsighted and even blind to the sins that once controlled us.
It is time for an honest evaluation, regardless of how long we have been saved. What things need to be cleansed from our lives? Here is another way of looking at it; if Jesus returned today would He be pleased with the things we are doing? If not, it is time to get rid of the old. His blood has made us — free to clean house!
Blessings dear hearts! God is with us today in order for us to be a blessing!
