2/14/08 - Life Journal - Give Us Clean Hands

Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His Holy Place? He who had clean hands and a pure heart.

Psalm 24:3,4

Some lofty criteria for being priest. The near unrealistic-"ness" of it basically left them no choice but to live in the temple.

Lucky for us real world saints the qualifications are a bit more lax. Clean hands and pure hearts are the ultimate models to shoot for, I'm not saying that I can't do it so I won't try. Just that the only man who had these qualities has died for me and one day I get to meet Him.

Jesus, thank you.
