Deaf Devo "Clean" with The Bible Reading: Psalm 51:1-10 for Tuesday, 21 February 2017

Deaf Devo "Clean" with The Bible Reading: Psalm 51:1-10 for Tuesday, 21 February 2017Psalm 51:(0) For the leader. A psalm of David, 2 when Natan the prophet came to him after his affair with Bat-Sheva:
3 (1) God, in your grace, have mercy on me;
in your great compassion, blot out my crimes.
4 (2) Wash me completely from my guilt,
and cleanse me from my sin.
5 (3) For I know my crimes,
my sin confronts me all the time.
6 (4) Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil from your perspective;
so that you are right in accusing me
and justified in passing sentence.
7 (5) True, I was born guilty,
was a sinner from the moment my mother conceived me.
8 (6) Still, you want truth in the inner person;
so make me know wisdom in my inmost heart.
9 (7) Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
10 (8) Let me hear the sound of joy and gladness,
so that the bones you crushed can rejoice.

I love taking care of my home. But one thing I really do not like to do is clean the top of my stove! Because this is something I don't like to do, I put off cleaning it. Then it gets dirtier and dirtier and becomes even more difficult to clean.
Recently I decided that I needed to do a better job of keeping my stove top clean. So every night when I am washing the dinner dishes, I take a couple of minutes and clean away the dirt. I learned that if I do it every day, my stove always looks so much cleaner.
Our lives are the same way. If we ignore the sin in our lives, we can become weak and be far away from God. So every day we need to think about our lives and search out areas of sin. Then we need to ask God to forgive us and to help us avoid doing those things again.
In verse 7 of our Bible Reading, David said to God, "Remove my sin and make me pure. Wash me until I am whiter than snow!" Be like David. Talk to God and ask Him to make you clean and pure.[Jo Krueger]
"God, create a pure heart in me, and make my spirit strong again." [Psalm 51:10]
PRAYER: God, please forgive my sins and make me clean. In Jesus' name. Amen.
