He Washes Me CLEAN in 2013 – C

For next year, I believe the Lord spoke: He Washes Me CLEAN in 2013

Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God ~ Psalm 51

¹ Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; (steadfast – firmly fixed, constant)

according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.

²         Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, (iniquity – wrong living)

and cleanse me from my sin!

³     For I know my transgressions, (transgression – over stepping boundaries)

and my sin is ever before me.

⁴         Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight,

so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.

⁵         Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

⁶         Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

⁷      Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

⁸         Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice.

⁹         Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

¹⁰         Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

¹¹         Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. (quench with anger)

¹²         Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.

¹³         Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you.

¹⁴         Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.

¹⁵         O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.

¹⁶         For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.

¹⁷         The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

¹⁸         Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; build up the walls of Jerusalem;

¹⁹         then will you delight in right sacrifices, (sacrifices offered with repentance)

in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar. ^[1]

Come and Worship Christ

Love Him and others

Evoke His Word

Admit His power within

Negate other gods

C – Come and worship Christ ~ Worship Him in spirit and in truth: “Jesus said…But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth,” John 4: 21-24.  Worship in this context means, “to kiss.” Kiss Him and be kissed by Him. Others will notice our kiss that changes us and activates love, joy, and peace. Worship washes us CLEAN. Worship cleans our minds of ourselves and places Jesus in His rightful place, as Lord, King, and Master. Today, I worship Him! To whom is your worship directed?

 

Look for the remainder of CLEAN acronym in the days ahead! In the meantime, He Washes Me CLEAN in 2013! Coming CLEAN starts with our worship. Worship Him today by loving Him!
