Ep. 187: Create in Me a Clean Heart

SHOW NOTES:

 

In Podcast Episode 187, “Create in Me a Clean Heart,” Kim discusses importance of responding to the Lord’s conviction with a broken and repentant spirit. David’s willingness to expose his brokenness for all Israel to see and learn from is inspiring. Also, using his words to pray for the hearts of others is a practical application of the text also. 

 

The primary scripture text for this episode is 2 Samuel 12:13 and Psalm 51 with 10, 12, and 17 as the focal verses:

 

“Then David confessed to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” Nathan replied, “Yes, but the Lord has forgiven you, and you won’t die for this sin.”  (2 Samuel 12:13)

 

Create in me a clean heart, O God.

    Renew a loyal spirit within me. (Psalm 51:10)

 

Restore to me the joy of your salvation,

    and make me willing to obey you. (Psalm 51:12)

 

The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.

    You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. (Psalm 51:17)

WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE:

 

Pray this: “Lord, please create in me a clean heart and renew a loyal spirit within me. Please restore to me the joy of Your salvation and make me willing to obey You.”
