Psalm 24:1-6 ~ Pure heart

Psalms 24: 1 - 6
1	The earth is the LORD's and the fulness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein;
2	for he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the rivers.
3	Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place?
4	He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false, and does not swear deceitfully.
5	He will receive blessing from the LORD, and vindication from the God of his salvation.
6	Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. [Selah]

1 Timothy 1:4,5
⁴ nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God's work—which is by faith. ⁵ The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith

Today we are finishing the book "The Relationship Principles of Jesus" by Tom Holladay. It's been a wonderful book to follow up the "Purpose Driven Life" written by Tom's Associate Pastor and brother-in-law, Rick Warren. I really felt so excited to read the book. I will read the "Relationship Principals of Jesus" again and again. It is very Biblical and arranges the Bible in new and thought provoking ways. The pure heart receiving the blessing is us, the faithful. We don't deserve it, can't earn it, and we will set our goal on becoming like God, but we can't do it. Jesus Christ yesterday, today and tomorrow is what we must trust in.

Matthew 28:19
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.


Hebrews 13:5
God has said,
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."

Deuteronomy 31:6
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
