Judges 20:1-48; Isaiah 38:1-39:8; 1 Corinthians 15:35-58
Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul. 1 Peter 2:11 NKJV
Much emphasis is placed today on the need to detoxify our bodies from impurities. By purging our systems of harmful agents, our bodies can function to their optimal capacity. Spiritually speaking, our lives also need daily cleansing from worldly influences which have the potential to stunt our spiritual growth. May God help us to cleanse our hearts and minds with the purifying agent of His Word, enabling us to bear much fruit for His honour and glory. —E.V.
Purify my heart, cleanse me from within and make me holy;
Purify my heart, cleanse me from my sin, deep within. —Mark Helprin
