The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 25:13 (MSG)
Reliable friends who do what they say are like cool drinks in sweltering heat—refreshing!
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 111:2-3 (ESV)
2 Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them. 3 Full of splendor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Matthew 5:8 (ESV)
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
My observation:
O the joy that floods my soul when I think about looking into the face of my heavenly Father some day. However, the blessing of seeing God can occur every day. Now, we see him by faith. However, there is coming a day when we shall see him face to face.
Hebrews 11:27 (ESV)
By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.
1 John 3:2 (ESV)
Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.
Jesus taught his disciples that only the pure in heart shall see God. How can we be pure in heart? I am so glad that Jesus told us the way, and that he became the way.
John 15:3 (ESV)
Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
1 John 1:7 (ESV)
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
The hymn writer got it right when he said, "What can wash away my sins, nothing but the blood of Jesus".
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I am so thankful for the precious and royal blood of Jesus that washed my sin sick heart, and gave me a new heart, a heart that is pure. O the blessing of seeing you by faith today, and the blessed promise of seeing you face to face on that blessed day when I shall see you in all of your majestic glory. Because I know him, and Jesus knows me, I shall see him in the sweet bye and bye. Hallelujah!
