双语灵修（葛培理牧师） ：1月1日 清洁的心

1月1日

清洁的心

“上帝啊，求你为我造清洁的心，使我里面重新有正直的灵。”

诗篇51:10

你上学时，有没有擦过黑板？你用力擦干净，黑板就会焕然一新，如同没有用过。我们在上帝面前认罪悔改，他就让我们全然更新。道理也是一样。“我们若认自己的罪，上帝是信实的，是公义的，必要赦免我们的罪，洗净我们一切的不义。”（约翰一书1:9）在你的生命中，你有多少次希望一切重新开始？以全新的心志，开始新的旅程呢？

此刻，你就回转归到上帝面前，悔改认罪，让他给你一个新的开始吧。

保罗说，“弟兄们，我不是以为自己已经得着了；我只有一件事，就是忘记背后，努力面前的，向着标竿直跑，要得上帝在基督耶稣里从上面召我来得的奖赏。”（腓立比书3:13-14）

今日祷告：

天父，求祢赦免我的罪和我所有的不义。主啊，为我造清洁的心，使我里面重新有正直的灵；奉耶稣的名祈求，阿门。

A CLEAN SLATE

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

Did you ever have the experience in school of erasing an entire blackboard?When the slate has been wiped clean,it is as if nothing at all had ever been written on it.

This is what God does for us when we come to Him confessing our sin.First John 1:9 says,“If we confess our sins,he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

How many times in your life have you wished you could start all over again with a clean slate,with a new life?Resolve right now to allow God to wipe your slate clean by confessing your sins and letting Him give you a brand new start.

The apostle Paul did this when he said,“Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus”(Philippians 3:13-14,RSV)

Pray for the Day:

Father,forgive my sins and all my unrighteousness.Create in me a clean heart,O Lord,and renew a right spirit within me;in Jesus’Name I pray,Amen.
