BIBLE PASSAGE:
“Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.”
(Psalm 51:2)
MEDITATION:
Before a priest could enter the Holy of Holies,
he had to stop by the basin and wash his hands and feet.
He had already been washed from head to toe,
but there was no floor in the tabernacle, only dirt.
There were also no utensils, so his hands became dirty.
This final preparation before he entered God’s presence was
the washing away of the defilement of this world, by washing his hands.
As you and I come into contact with the world, we are going to become defiled.
We don’t need a bath all over; we have already been saved.
But, each day we must ask God to search our hearts and cleanse us from our sins.
How would it change our lives if each of us came into the presence of God
as seriously as the Old Testament priests? (we should)
ACTION:
Have you been to the basin this morning?
If not, bow before God right now.
Remember, He is waiting to forgive you, but you have to ask.
“…..You do not have because you do not ask God” (James 4:2b)
Make Psalm 139:23-24 your heart’s prayer.
“Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
And when you pray, pray with expectations.
“But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who
doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind”. (James 1:6)
Pray,
“Heavenly Father, You and I know more about me than anyone else.
We know when I have been influenced by the world and fail to follow
the path You have for me. Forgive me for allowing the worldly dirt to
influence me. Cleanse me of all that does not honor You, and keep me
on the path that pleases You. Teach me to compare the things I do to
Your Will for me, before I move forward. Help me to become more
like Your Son, Jesus, the One I believe in, and am following.”
