Old Testament
Embrace It
And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. (Exodus 19:16-17)
Where we live thunder storms are common…
That does not mean they are boring…
Thunder and lightning are frightening and at the same time they are exhilarating…
We want to run and hide but we are also captivated by the power and the energy…
Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? (Job 40:9)
When the Bible talks about us fearing God it should be like fearing a thunder storm…
There should be fear and at the same time tremendous excitement…!
There are times when God calms the soul…
Just as important there are times when He lights it up…!
There is a strength, a power, an energy that can only come from God…
We need to fear it and at the same time we must embrace it…!
Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. (1 Chronicles 29:11)

Pure in Heart
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Matthew 5:8)
A Pure Heart is a trait normally associate with a very young child…
This child can be innocent because they do not know anything else…
Unfortunately, somewhere along the way every child is exposed to the forbidden fruit…
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. (Psalm 24:4)
In Jewish law there are many things that if touched can make one “unclean”…
By following a set of rules this person’s hands can become clean again…
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. (2 Timothy 2:22)
We can lust after anything: money, power, fame... Anything...
Lust is such a gut reaction that it often feels like it comes from out of nowhere…
So is it even possible to have a pure heart…?
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:4)
Each time we ask for forgiveness our heart is made pure once again…
(And again, and again and again...)
