DAILY?READINGS: Deuteronomy 4; Ecclesiastes 5-6; Luke 7:30-50
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat: When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed. Exodus 40:31-32
Though Moses was the leader of Israel, he obeyed the Lord’s command to wash at the laver before coming into the tabernacle. In a family, parents spend a good bit of time cleaning up their toddlers; yet, they must not forget good hygiene for themselves. As leaders it is easy to get caught up with the needs of those in our care and forget to attend to our own personal purity. As we collectively come before the Lord today, may it be with pure hearts and clean hands. —W. A. H.
Water clear, standing near, wash our hands and faces clean.
May the Lord, by His Word, wash our hearts from every sin.
So let everything we see turn our thoughts O Lord to Thee. —Philip P. Bliss
