Create in me a clean
heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit
within me. Psalm 51:10
My wife, Alicia, enjoys making our home and yard more
beautiful by planting plants and flowers.
She picks specific plants to grow during different seasons of the year.
If Alicia plants sunflower seeds, the seeds will eventually produce sunflowers,
and so forth.
We are all familiar with the saying that "we will reap
what we sow" and just like seeds, if we have sinful desires and thoughts,
it will become evident later that some 'bad seeds' have been planted in our hearts.
We must continually go to the Lord and ask him to give us
clean hearts so that our lives will produce clean thoughts, motives, and
behaviors.
None of us will be entirely 'clean' or free from sin in this
life, but one of the most worthy goals we can pursue in this new year is to
glorify God in all that we say or do.
