Purging the Heart
Key Verse : Psalm 51:10
Let’s talk about sin. I know it’s not your preference and many churches today will shy away from the topic, but it’s important we address the hidden sin and idolatry in your life. Because if you don’t do that, you’ll have a hard time flourishing in life.
The great King David fell hard when he slept with a married woman while her husband was at war. And when she became pregnant, he had her husband sent to the frontlines so he would die. Talk about a fall from grace.
In Psalm 51, we hear the raw words of a broken man. Nathan the prophet had just confronted David of his hidden sin and the king shattered in guilt. He knew what he had done was wrong and he needed to deal with the sin that had overtaken his life and hurt others.
Sin will always eat at you and will eventually negatively affect others. That’s the nature of it; it’s like a cancer that consumes the body. This is why you must deal with it and do so aggressively.
What sin are you hiding from the world? You can’t hide it from God, mind you. Is it an addiction to porn or food? An affair or sexual interaction outside of marriage? Perhaps you’ve hurt someone and allowed the pride of your heart to keep you from reconciliation.
Or maybe it’s an idol in your life; something or someone you’ve made more important to God. This could be family, your job, ministry, or money.
Whatever darkness is clinging to your soul or idol you’ve erected in your life, it’s time to address it. Ask God to search your heart and reveal the ugly matters it holds. Then, deal with it. Do whatever it takes to purify your life, and your heart, from such ruin. And know that when you do this in partnership with God, His grace is available to you.
Take it from someone who has been there. When I had a moral failure in ministry leadership I knew confessing my sin would mean I’d lose everything I worked so hard for. And indeed, I did. But it was only from that place of brokenness that I was able to find healing in the arms of a gracious God. If I had kept the sin close to my heart, I would have slowly died from the inside out. But in the light of His love, healing and redemption became possible and I’m forever grateful for such grace.
Don’t cling to the sin—allow God to deal with it and transform you in His likeness.wrong trying to retrieve data from the server.
