November 12, 2013 - "Am I Clean?"

I'd love to know how God decided to create the universe and make a star. I am a science freak and the intricacies of creation are just a "few" of the things I'd like to discuss sometime during eternity. I suppose this is a school teacher thing, and I know God doesn't have to answer my questions, but I feel certain He will as we are in a love relationship and He knows my heart. Maybe? Do you have discovery-type questions to ask when we reach eternity? I pray you don't think I'm being disrespectful to even suggest that. I really feel there will be plenty of time to discover as we visit with God face to face. Man......I can't even grab the bottom end of that. You? Today let's speak from Psalm 51. You know the story of David and Bathsheba. David, a man after God's heart, has an experience that places him totally dealing with his flesh - an experience that could have been avoided had he followed God's plan and been off to war with the other men. However, sometimes we all wish we were elsewhere when sin crouches at OUR door. Or at least I do... But today I am grateful that God allowed this story to be penned as it brings a great HOPE to me that even in my dark times, when I have willingly embraced sin, God is able to speak, restore, and transplant. Yes, He is. I love these verses from Psalm 51: 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, andsteadfast spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from Your presence and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit. David is falling upon the love of God who knows and yet has the power to renew and restore. I want this to be part of my prayer today and everyday. A clean and pure heart, a renewed spirit, and the joy of being saved by God - now that will make you smile. It will make me smile. :) Let's invite God to create a clean heart today, spiritually, and then let's eat properly to create and maintain a clean heart naturally. How about we do both today? Have an amazing Tuesday, PK
