King David made some great decisions, but he also made some terrible ones. During his reign, David chose to abuse his power by taking the wife of one of his military leaders, and then arranging for him to die in battle. For someone who was considered โa man after Godโs own heart,โ David really messed up.
In 2 Samuel 12:13 we see David confess his sin against the Lord and in Psalm 51, we see his prayer to be made new:
โCreate in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.โ
โญโญPsalmโฌ โญ51โฌ:โญ10โฌ โญESVโฌโฌ
David failed. But God redeems. God restores. David still had to face the consequences of his decisions, but in that journey, God met him there.
If you want to be made new by God but believe that your past is too messed up, you can follow the path David showed us. Confess, repent, and ask God to make you new. You can even use Davidโs exact words as you pray: create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
When we seek God, we realize that Heโs already been seeking us.
God is faithful. He loves you. He can make your heart clean. In Him, you can become a new creation.
