Stay Clean

Psalm 51
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit

As humans we take showers because we want to keep our bodies clean. If we go without bathing, we will start to have an odor, be itchy, feel dirty, get infections, etc.

In Psalm 51, we see the words wash, clean, whiter, renew, restore, joy, salvation, Holy spirit, etc. God wants us to be clean! God will restore, renew, wash, and cleanse us.

We can get our joy back, walk in our salvation, and have a pure heart for God, etc., when we are willing to be clean from our ways and sins.

When we are physically unclean it is a disgusting feeling, but spiritually how clean are we? Does it bother us when we are spiritually unclean? We have to make sure our mind, heart, thoughts, conversations, how we dress, how we carry ourselves, what we say, etc., are clean.

God is pure, and his people need to be clean! We can stay clean by making sure God is in every part of our life. God gave us different resources to help us stay clean! Let's use them!

God can’t abide in filthiness so we have to make sure that we stay clean so he can continue to live in us!
