Psalm 51:10
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Because we are all born sinners, our natural inclination is to please ourselves rather than God. David followed that inclination when he took another man’s wife.
We also follow it when we sin in any way. Like David, we must ask God to cleanse us from within, clearing our hearts and spirits for new thoughts and desires.
We are all witness to the things that are going on in the world today. These things are happening because of hearts that are turned away from God. People have the ability to do many great things, yet they ignore the abilities given by God in order to hate and destroy. This hatred is found all the way at the top including our elected politicians. They spew hatred from their lips in an attempt to promote their own political agendas.
Right conduct can come only from a clean heart and spirit. Ask God to create a pure heart and spirit in you.
