Loading...Want a Clean Heart?
King David made some great decisions, but he also made some terrible ones. He had an affair with a woman named Bathsheba, for example, and attempted to conceal the secret by arranging the murder of her husband.
For someone who was considered “a man after God’s own heart,” David really messed up. And yet, we know from Scripture that David confessed his sin against the Lord (2 Samuel 12:13) and can read about how he prayed for mercy in Psalm 51:
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”
Psalm 51:10 ESV
If you’ve ever messed up, you’re in good company. Paul, the author behind much of the New Testament, writes in Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Paul wasn't always a man who followed God's own heart, either—in fact, early in his life, he killed people who followed Jesus.
God did not abandon Paul. He did not exclude David. And He will not forsake you, either! God does not leave us to ourselves or our pasts, nor does He give us what we fully deserve. Instead, He put on skin and took our place. Jesus became the perfect and ultimate sacrifice for our sin—once and for all. He loves us, despite what we may have done!
If you’re longing for a second chance or craving a relationship with the one true God, but aren’t sure where to start, try borrowing some of David’s words. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
When we seek God, we realize that He’s already been seeking us.
God is faithful. He is who He says He is and He will do what He says He’ll do. He is your merciful Savior, He forgives your sins, and He not only makes your heart clean, but He also makes you a brand new creation.
Say yes to what matters
Peter sat in grief and darkness. He had publicly denied knowing Jesus just before Jesus was crucified. And for a couple of days, Peter had to process his guilt without expecting it to go away. But on the third day, Jesus’ tomb was found empty and the stone rolled away.
Not long afterward though, Peter was out in a boat with several other disciples doing what he was trained to do before he met Jesus: fishing.
It’s as he’s doing this that Jesus appears. But instead of letting Peter continue to live with the shame of his past, Jesus pulls him aside and asks him a question that propels Peter into his purpose:
“Do you love me?”
Three times Jesus asks Peter this—one for each time Peter denied him. This wasn’t a passive-aggressive question: Jesus was inviting Peter to reaffirm the relationship he’d previously denied.
Every time Peter responds with, “Yes Lord, you know that I love you,” Jesus re-commissions Peter by calling him into the role of church builder and shepherd.
Jesus’ resurrection meant that Peter didn’t have to be defined by his mistakes. He could still embrace the call on his life and become the leader Jesus knew he could be.
Like Peter, you also have the opportunity to say “yes” to loving Jesus and being loved by Him. No matter how dysfunctional your life looks, or how far from Jesus you feel, there is nothing that can separate you from His love.
Your past mistakes or current problems do not dictate your purpose when your life is rooted in Christ.
God has given each of us access to a free gift we don’t deserve: a free gift that is available when we choose to love God and receive His relentless, sacrificial love for us.
The resurrection reassures us that no situation or mistake is impossible for God to redeem. There is no fear Jesus cannot conquer and no life He cannot heal. No darkness can stand against the power of the risen God who conquered death on our behalf.
There is nothing our God can’t do, and no one our God can’t redeem.
Today, say “yes” to Jesus and allow Him to reveal His deep, unending love for you.
Lessons from Rosh Hashanah
Rosh Hashanah is a significant holiday in Jewish culture that marks the Jewish new year and is a time of reflection and renewal. While I was a student in Regent University’s School of Divinity, I briefly studied abroad in Israel and developed a deeper appreciation and understanding of Jewish culture. This newfound level of awareness led to spiritual growth that I believe all Christians can have as we draw valuable lessons from Jewish traditions such as Rosh Hashanah.
Embrace New Beginnings
The term Rosh Hashanah translates to “head of the year” in Hebrew and is celebrated with hope for a new beginning in the lives of its observers. After a year of life’s joys, disappointments, successes, and failures, a new beginning is desired.
As Christians, we can also have a fresh start in our walk with God anytime we wish, regardless of the time of year. God has a long history of encouraging His children as they pursue a new beginning.
The Call to Repentance
One of the key customs of Rosh Hashanah is to attend synagogue services for special prayers and rituals. The shofar, a trumpet-like instrument made from a ram’s horn, is blown during these services as a call to repentance and awakening.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9 ESV)
So, let us examine our lives, confess shortcomings, and seek God’s forgiveness.
Reflection and Self-Examination
Rosh Hashanah includes the practice of introspection, where observers perform a self-examination to see areas of needed improvement. This practice reminds me of the Apostle Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 13:5: "Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!"
Let this be a time of spiritual growth for you as you identify areas for improvement and set goals for the coming year.
Seeking Reconciliation
There is a Jewish tradition of seeking forgiveness from others before Rosh Hashanah. This runs parallel to Jesus’ teaching on forgiveness and reconciliation in Matthew 5:23-24: “So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.”
Reconciliation and forgiveness to others is essential to a healthy relationship with the Lord. Often, our relationship with God is hindered when we have unforgiveness toward others.
Hope and Expectation
Sweet foods such as apples dipped in honey serve as symbolism for the hope of a sweet year ahead during Rosh Hashanah. With every bite of sweet food, hope abounds.
Jeremiah 29:11 says: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
This hope we have as Christians is because of the plans that God has for us.
Prayer
Rosh Hashanah begins and ends with prayer. May the key lessons we learn from this holy festival be like a prayer within our hearts, as we embrace new beginnings, repent, examine ourselves, seek reconciliation, and have hope.
Applying these lessons will deepen our Christian walk and draw us closer to God.

Hebrews 10:26-31 NLT
[26] Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. [27] There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. [28] For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. [29] Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us. [30] For we know the one who said, “I will take revenge. I will pay them back.” He also said, “The Lord will judge his own people.” [31] It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
https://bible.com/bible/116/heb.10.26-31.NLT
God, You know everything about me. You know what I’m going to say before I speak it. You know all of my thoughts, desires, and intentions. All that I am, I give to You. Please help me recognize any lies I've been believing and replace them with Your truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Ephesians 5:3-4 NLT
[3] Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. [4] Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God.
https://bible.com/bible/116/eph.5.3-4.NLT
When we sin and ask God’s forgiveness, He is happy to give it. The blood doesn’t lose its power. But that doesn’t mean we’re exempt from the fallout of sin. Often our sin bears consequences, and we reap what we sow. If you have sin in your life, go to God for forgiveness, then trust Him to manage the repercussions.
Romans 8:28 says that “all things” work together for good for those who love the Lord. Even though the fallout of sin is painful, God can even use that—in time—for His purposes and His glory. He can restore what the locusts have eaten.
Repentance breaks the abscess of sin, and then the soul is at ease.
