Blessed Are Pure In Heart

                        Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God - Matthew 5:8.

               We need a pure heart to stand in the presence of God. Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place?  He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation - Psalm 24:3-5. The one who has a pure heart will receive blessing from the Lord. We are so blessed when we our heart is pure and we can see God.

                The Lord will not hear us if we have iniquity in our heart. If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear - Psalm 66:18. The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?  - Jeremiah 17:9. Let us hide the word of God in our heart so that sin cannot enter our lives. Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You - Psalm 119:11.

              God is good to those who are pure in heart. Truly God is good to Israel, To such as are pure in heart - Psalm 73:1. Let us purify our hearts to see God and His goodness in our life. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8. Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name - Psalm 86:11.                                                

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Purify our hearts to see You and Your goodness. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
