Read – Jeremiah 29:12-14, James 4:8
SOAP – James 4:8
"Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world." James 4:8 NLT
One step takes us into God. He doesn't move, we do. Sin separates us. Therefore we need to have clean hands & hearts to come into His presence. We need to repent of sin in thought, word and deed. Things we "touch" that are unclean... we have to cleanse our hands. Our mouths speak what is in our hearts. Our minds control what we think, say and do. Keep it clean and we can be loyal and stay in God's presence!
Jeremiah 29:11-14 NLT "'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,' says the Lord. 'I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land'.”
When we humble ourselves and pray, & seek Him He will hear from Heaven and forgive our sins and heal our land. He will restore us and grant us many blessings.
Psalm 24:3-4 "Who may climb the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies."
Cleanse us Lord in thought, word and deed of the sins we have committed intentionally and unintentionally that we may boldly stand before your throne & stand in your holy presence!
