Title: Be Holy!
Memorize: He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. Psalm 24:4 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Psalm 24:3-6 (Nkjv)
[3] Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place?
[4] He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully.
[5] He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
[6] This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face. Selah
Message:
Our Bible reading for today shows us some fundamental requirements for an acceptable walk with God.
The first is clean hands; if your hands are defiled, you cannot walk with God. What defiles a person’s hands? Sin and illicit premarital sex or masturbation.
Proverbs 6:27-29 Says: “Can a man take fire to his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be seared So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her shall not be innocent.”
Only a person with a pure heart can effectively and acceptably walk with God.
1 John 1:7-9 says that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
May the Lord deliver you from anything that works against your walk with Him, in Jesus’ name.
The act of walking with God is not a call to relate with Him as His equal but one of total submission to His authority and an absolute commitment to follow Jesus. This was made clear in Luke 9:23 and Philippians 2:12.
Determination to serve God in holiness, righteousness, in spirit, and in truth creates the right foundation for walking with the Lord.
Key Point:
Make up your mind to be holy, and the Lord will help you.
HYMN 12 – HOLY, HOLY, HOLY! LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!
1. Holy, Holy, Holy!
Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to thee:
Holy, holy, holy,
Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons,
Blessed, Trinity!
2. Holy, Holy, Holy!
All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea:
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before Thee,
Which wert and art,
And evermore shalt be.
3. Holy, Holy, Holy!
Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eyes of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only thou art holy:
There is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.
4. Holy, Holy, Holy!
Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise
Thy name, in earth and sky, and sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons,
Blessed, Trinity!
