THEY PURIFIED THEMSELVES
Today's reading: 1 Chronicles 15-19

"So the priests and the Levites purified themselves in order to bring the Ark of the Lord, the God of Israel, to Jerusalem." 1 Chronicles 15:14 NLT

If I want to turn things around in my home--I must purify myself.

If I want to see the Holy Spirit move mightily in my church--I must purify myself.

If I want to see God at work in my little town--I must purify myself.

If I want to see the Lord regain, restore and revive this great nation I live in--I must purify myself.

It all starts with me.

Only in my close walk with the Lord will I be able to hear His directives.

Only in my choice to bow in repentance to God will I be able to see where He wants me to go.

Only in choosing to make my heart obedient will I be willing to do what He asks me to do.

Only in clearing out any personal gods, private idols or self-made graven images can I have a heart that is purified for God and able to make a mark for His kingdom!

They, the priests and Levites, purified themselves--maybe that's exactly what we need to do!
