TODAY’S WORD…

.

Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in His holy place?
Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,
who do not lift up their souls to what is false,
and do not swear deceitfully.
.

They will receive blessing from the Lord,
and vindication from the God of their salvation.

.

– Psalm 24:3-5 (NRSV)

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

“Hands” and “hearts” refer to both action and intention,

the whole of the human being

who should basically turn toward God alone

and to His law.

.

.

QUOTE…

.

“These are the three elementary forms of the experience of God

and of our relationship with God:

we live by the work of God,

we live before God

and we can live with God.”

.

– G. Ebeling.

PRAYER…

.

Look inside my heart, O Lord,

and there You will see

all that I am and do,

all that I desire to be and to do.

.

Lord, wash me clean,

and renew my heart, my mind, my body, my soul.

.

My entire being yearns for You,

to be with You,

to be like You,

to be one with You.

.

Amen.
