If you know me, you know I’m a peacemaker. I’m the least controversial person on the planet and yet, I was met with this staggering question… “What if our hands aren’t the only thing that need cleansing?” . I nervously responded in prayer, “Oof. Lord, that kinda stings… I’m gonna need you to elaborate a bit more if you want me to address this publicly.” . Here’s the deal: We all feel this undeniable urge to clean. We’re washing our hands insistently, decluttering our homes with gusto and disinfecting household surfaces. We’re combating an invisible enemy. We’re at war against a merciless virus to which no one is immune.
We’re fighting a physical war friends but a war still is waged within us. A spiritual war, fought, not with flesh and blood but against the enemy of our souls… No amount of Lysol and soap can remove the dingy filth of sin. Thankfully there is a cure for the internal disease that plagues us all. Jesus. He cleanses all impurities better than any sanitizer on the market. He sanctifies us. If only we would let him.
Sweet sisters, lets focus on not only on cleansing our hands to prevent catching illnesses, but to also come before the throne of grace and allow God to cleanse our hearts and purify our souls.
PRAYER: Gracious and Heavenly Father, purify our hearts and purge what is not pleasing to you. It’s your loving kindness that leads us to repentance. Forgive us of our sin. Please cleanse us of all impurity, help us when we stray and guide us to your tender mercy today. Amen.
SCRIPTURE: “So then, dear friends, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from every impurity of the flesh and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1,CSB — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2QQ4cDJ
