Good morning, here is today's prayer...
Dear lord Jesus, You taught Your disciples on the mountain and said to them…… “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” – Matthew 5:8
Dear Lord, as I meditate on this verse, I can not help to think of Your servant Moses, who wanted to see Your glory (Exodus 33:18) but You said….. “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.” – Exodus 33:20.
Lord, what we can only see for now is what You also told Moses he can see…. “And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence.” – Exodus 33:19.
Lord, we can see Your goodness around us every day of our lives. Your name, the Lord, is proclaimed to us every single day.
Yet, dear Lord, when I think of Moses, I tremble at the thought that not even the faithful Moses was allowed to see Your face. Not even he, was pure at heart.
Lord, I pray to You today to search my heart, to reveal my evil to myself and to cleanse me through the blood of Christ.
Lord, I know that You can do this for we know from Matthew 17:3 that You did it for Moses as he appeared along with Elijah at the Transfiguration of Christ thus implying that he is in Your holy presence. Lord Jesus, You also promise that when You come again Your people will see Your face….. “No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.” – Revelation 22:3-4
Lord Jesus, You saying…. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God”….. says to me that my heart needs to be pure before I can be in Your holy presence. I need to be cleansed of my sin and therefore, I thank You that You have already done it, that You have already cleansed me and my brothers and sisters in Christ, with Your holy and pure blood.
Lord, I pray that You will continue Your work in sanctifying us to the pureness required to see Your face.
In the saving name of Jesus, I pray
Amen
