PROMISE #149 - MAY 29

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. ~Matthew 5:8

​In the Old Testament you could not look upon the face of God and live to tell of it. Not even Moses, one of God's best friends, could look at the Lord's face and live. But in this passage from the Sermon on the Mount Jesus tells us that the pure in heart will see God.

It is because of Jesus and the price He paid with His life to become our life that we are able to see God and not be consumed. His death and resurrection are our righteousness by His righteousness. The Bible says right now we are hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:1-3). Jesus’ holiness is now our holiness, and Jesus’ Father is our Father (John 20:17).

My prayer today is that the Spirit of God will make the benefits of our salvation more real to us than ever before. Because of Jesus, we now have access to the throne room of God 24/7, and we can approach it without fear of being consumed. We have full access to our God and Father in Christ, night or day, so we can boldly approach Him with confidence! Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for allowing me to come into Your throne room, day or night, to see Your face. For with You is the fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. I pray that Your love’s fire would burn up any feelings of shame or condemnation that I wrestle with so that I can boldly come before You any time, day or night.

In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
