“Create a clean heart in me, O God.” I
find it really interesting that the psalmist does not say purify my heart or
cleanse my heart, but rather “create” in me a clean heart. The
psalmist emphasizes God’s creative action, the new life and the new creation
that we become through God. The
psalmist goes on to say – “A steadfast spirit renew within me.” In
asking for a new spirit and a new heart, the psalmist asks to renew the presence
of both the human and the divine within him, to renew that which is depraved
and broken and disordered within him. In
the light of today’s psalm, we can ask ourselves:
What
energy do I feel flowing through me?
Where is
the energy of God that is guiding me on my journey?
What is
the Spirit that I feel God entrusting in me?
How am I
helping God create a new within me?
