Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded - James 4:8.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you
God will draw near to us as we draw near to Him with a true heart. These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me - Mathew 15:8. Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water - Hebrews 10:22. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth - Psalm 145:18.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners
We cannot ascend into the hill of the Lord or stand in His holy place and receive blessing from Him unless we have clean hands and pure heart. 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. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation - Psalm 24:3,4. The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me - Psalm 18:20.
Purify your hearts, you double-minded
We are so blessed when our heart is pure as we shall see God. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God - Matthew 5:8. God will not hear us if we regard iniquity in our heart. If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear - Psalm 66:18. Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are pure in heart - Psalm 73:1. Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me - Psalm 51:10.
Let us draw near to God with clean hands and pure heart!!
The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin - 1 John 1:7.
Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth - John 17:17.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to draw near to You with clean hands and pure heart. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
