How to have a clean heart:
#1 – Ask God for it. God and His Word are the cleaning agents. A clean heart has to be created and maintained for the rest of your life.
The further away you are from God’s presence, the further away from lasting joy.
#2 – The key is learning to stay close to God’s presence. To have joy restored, you have to have had it. Once you have it, you will want it again. God not only wants joy restored, but He will also restore it. Where sin abounds, grace abounds much more; confess, accept God’s forgiveness, get your priorities right where God can restore your joy.
Psalm 51:12, NKJV “Restore to me the joy of your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.”
The Challenge
- How is your heart today?
- Will you allow God to restore your joy?
