Psalm 24:3-4
3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD ?
Who may stand in his holy place?4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to an idol
or swear by what is false.
I can not say that my heart is pure. I have done well to clean my hands of the obvious sin in my life and my heart is pure in that area, but there are other falsehoods that I cling to. With sexual immorality gripping me for so long it was easy to ignore all the sin in my life. Slowly though it is becoming apparent. I am gradually identifying the idols that bind my soul. Cleaning my hands of these and purifying myself to God’s standards may take a great deal of time, and a supreme effort. It is all worth it. I have lived in fantasy and subscribed to falsehood. I have given away my soul, and turned away from God. Now I am convicted to put myself right, and turn myself over to His hands.
