In Psalm 51:
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
9 Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
We can put on an outward appearance of purity but FATHER is focused on our inward parts, specifically our heart. Out of our heart comes forth the intent by which our actions conform. Men can modify their behavior for extended periods of time but in the end when the pressure comes, the outward will reflect the inward. King David knew this when he committed adultery with Bathsheba and had her husband put to death.
We have all fallen short of HIS Glory in the past and thankfully FATHER is willing to purge us so that we become clean. white and without spot or wrinkle . FATHER purges us from our past and behold we become whiter than snow. Let us no longer settle for anything less than pure hearts. Let us cast away any profane thoughts and give no place to the devil and his lies. FATHER Loves us no matter how ugly our past is and HE has the desire and ability to restore us just as HE did with David. In Exodus chapter 12:
22 And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning.
Hyssop was used for cleansing and purging just prior to the “cross over” in order to become a Hebrew. Let us look in our mirror for anything needing to be purged and ask FATHER to remove the impurities from our midst. When our inward parts are fully cleansed, our perfection is at hand.
