What God Has Made Clean

Scripture in Motion

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

We want transformation that looks like Jesus, yet often start in the wrong place—trying to act like Him before we let Him cleanse what drives us.

Peter knew that pull. Surrounded by voices and expectations, he forgot what God had already shown him about clean and unclean things. The struggle wasn’t about food; it was about belonging. To please others, he slipped back into what felt safe, ignoring the Spirit’s call to freedom.

A clean heart isn’t merely pure—it’s undivided. It remembers what God has declared and refuses to twist it for approval. When our hearts are clear, obedience comes naturally; when they’re cluttered, we call compromise wisdom.

David prayed for renewal, and Peter lived it out. Both found that a clean heart is where courage begins.
