Today God says:
"Keep your heart pure, and you will see Me"
He promises me:
"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God". (Matt. 5:8)
My response to the word:
Throughout this day I will seek purity of heart. I will keep my head and my heart going in the right direction, and then I will not have to worry about my feet. I realize that happiness, as Jesus pointed out, consists of a healthy mental attitude, a grateful spirit, a clear conscience, and a pure heart. I will strive to maintain all four of these attitudes throughout this day. When I fall short of the mark, I will plead the merits of the blood of Christ which cleanses me.
My prayer:
Lord, thank you for making it possible for me to have heart-purity. I will walk in purity of heart today, realizing that one day I will be with you.
Today's scriptures:
"The promises of the Lord are pure, like silver refined in a furnace and purified seven times". (Ps. 12:6 GW) "Every word of God has proven true. He is a shield to those who come to Him for protection" (Prov. 30:5 GW) "But if we live in the light in the same way that God is in the light, we have a relationship with each other. And the blood of His Son Jesus cleanses us from every sin". (1 John 1:7 GW)
Quote for today:
A baptism of holiness, a demonstration of godly living is the crying need of our day. (Leonard Ravenhill)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
