Good Morning,
There is nothing like waking up to a pot of Door County Coffee brewing in the kitchen. Today my flavor is Candy Cane and it is more than fine with me.
My wife Rene does a major house cleaning twice a year. Once in the spring, and once in late fall, just before Christmas. In between those to she does her weekly cleaning. She feels good about our home and she likes it that way.
My lesson for today is that people seem to put more effort into charades of the heart than they do just acknowledging the fact that their heart needs a good cleaning now and then. They work hard at disguising the fact that they have some issues in their life that need not be there. They go from one lie to the next instead of just doing a cleansing of the heart.
The Bible has a lot to say about a clean and pure heart. The heart is where our thoughts and emotions originate. A clean heart is most important in having a right relationship with God. He desires to cleanse our hearts when we repent and turn to Him. He washes away our sins and gives us a new heart, one that is full of love for Him and others.
Psalm 24:3-4 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart., who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully.
Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
So today if your are spending time covering your the tracks of your heart instead of letting it beat for God, ask Him to clean you up and set you straight on a path of living for Him and others. Tomorrow we will talk about a selfish heart. God sees the heart of very man and woman. The only one who believes the lies of the heart is you.
God bless,
Marty
