Who Will Receive the Blessing?

Who Will Receive the Blessing?

Today's Scripture

"Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation" (Psalm 24:3-5, KJV).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

God wants us to receive every blessing that He has in store for us. That�s why He tells us in His Word how we can receive every one of His promises�by having clean hands and a pure heart. What does that mean?

First of all, we are made clean and pure by the blood of Jesus when we make Him our Lord and Savior and turn away from anything that displeases Him. And I�ve found that most of the time, it�s not the big things that keep us from God�s best; it�s the small things�maybe it starts with an offense that turns into unforgiveness. Or maybe you watch things on TV or the internet that you know you shouldn�t, and it becomes a bad habit that steals your time and pollutes your mind.

Make the decision today that you are going to be a person of excellence and integrity. Treat the people in your life with respect and kindness. Look for ways to be a blessing to others. Be determined to live a life that pleases God so that you can receive the honor, wealth, and abundance that He has in store for you!

A Prayer for Today

Father in heaven, thank You for the blood of Jesus that cleanses and renews me. I choose to turn away from anything that displeases You so that I can live righteously before You. In Jesus� Name. Amen.
