The Purity Challenge

You know those little sins? The ones you don't even realize you've committed? Like a wrong motive or an innocent lie. Or the ones you remember only at the end of the day? Like avoiding people (ooh, what's the underlying problem there?!) or angry glances.
These little things might be getting in the way of God's plan for you. But what can you do about them if you constantly overlook them like the dirty clothes on your bedroom floor? Pray for conviction and watch out!
Simple to do? Yes. Scary to face? Absolutely. It's hard to accept the reality of a sin nature. Freeing? Oh, what bliss to know that the Lord Himself is cleansing you from the inside out!
Can you imagine what a different world this would be if all Christians were to pray the prayer David prayed:

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. (Psalm 51:10, KJV)

In your next quiet time, take the time to read Psalm 51 and pray it as you are led. See what God will do when sin no longer stands between you and His plan for you!
