The Words of My Mouth and The Concentration of My Heart

David understood this very well, he asked God to create in him a clean heart, he understood that it would take the creative power of God to renew his heart and everything that was lurking within it. Cleanse the cancer (sin) that lie secretly in our hearts. Job said in chapter 34:32 "Teach me what I cannot see, if I have done wrong, so that I won't do it again."
