“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the water. Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. He will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God his Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob.” Psalm 24:1-6 (NIV84)
How amazing to know that we live in a world that is completely and totally under the control of our Great God! It is all His! The days may be busy or full of potential worry, yet God is still there and is keenly aware of all that is going on. He gives us life and breath for each day and the privilege of walking with Him. He has placed the Holy Spirit inside of us so that we might have power to live a life that pleases Him.
In these days may we take the time to reflect on His loving care for us. May we also seek Him with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Longing to walk closely with Him. Longing to have clean hands and a pure heart. Being appreciative for His love that has been shown to us. Being thankful for the forgiveness of sin. Striving to not allow sin to master us, but for us to master our sin nature. Striving to honor Him with our daily life.
I pray that we may be the generation of those who seek the face of our God! Faithfully living each day and passing on the Good News of the Gospel to our family and friends. To the praise of His glory and grace!
