Matthew 23:26” Blind Pharisees! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and the outside will be clean. …..28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.” In the movie 28 days, Sandra Bulluck needed to get her “inside” to match her “outside” in order for the horse to respond to her.
We need purity of heart!! When we seek God first (Matthew 6:33) with our full heart, we get purity of heart. When I quit drinking, I needed to want sobriety not only to avoid consequences, but to truly embrace an alcohol free life style. In order to do this God had to be my God not alcohol. Over my life time, I have put many things in God’s place. That is worshiping the created not the Creator. Today, let’s ask God to fill us with His Holy Spirit, that we may truly want what He wants for us, firmly TRUSTING Jesus as Lord. When Jesus is Lord, we can; accept the things we cannot change, change the things we can and have the wisdom to know the difference! Be fit and be blessed today with purity of heart!!
