Amanda Drury: In Matthew 5:8, Jesus declares, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” But what does this kind of purity actually look like? David, though deeply flawed, is remembered as a “man after God’s own heart” because of his relentless return to God in humility and repentance. Psalm 51 offers a window into David’s response to failure—not one of self-pity or denial, but of heartfelt confession and longing for a clean heart. We are invited to examine the state of our own hearts: Are we hiding, pretending, or drifting? Or are we allowing God to search, cleanse, and transform us from the inside out? Purity isn’t merely the absence of wrong—it is the presence of God’s refining work in our inner lives.
