HEART THAT STRIVES TO BE HOLY FOR THE LORD

January 28 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Exodus 30-32

Key Verse – Exodus 30:37 And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD.

HEART THAT STRIVES TO BE HOLY FOR THE LORD Our heart strives to be holy for the Lord, confessing our sinfulness Which destroys us along personal weakness Whenever we yield to instruments of unrighteousness… Now, we pursue after His forgiveness, repenting with humbleness. Our heart strives to be holy for the Lord, submitting our haughtiness Which fails us along ignorance and foolishness Whenever we think highly of ourselves despite carnality’s unworthiness… Now, we surrender to His leadership’s greatness. Our heart strives to be holy for the Lord, admitting our selfishness Which drowns us along enticements of lustfulness Whenever we succumb to vanities’ deceitfulness… Now, we come to His throne of graciousness. Our heart strives to be holy for the Lord, grieving over our wickedness Which tramples us along evil destructiveness Whenever we fall to temptations’ perilousness… Now, we depend on His strength’s firmness. Our heart strives to be holy for the Lord, turning from our worldliness Which invites us along materialism’s nothingness Whenever we covet earthly gains’ bountifulness… Now, we cling to His divine care’s wealth-wellness. Our heart strives to be holy for the Lord, asking sanctification for our filthiness Which drives us along corruption’s fatal business Whenever we immerse ourselves into pride’s perverseness… Now, we desire Him and delight in His loving kindness. Our heart strives to be holy for the Lord, forsaking our unfaithfulness Which hinders us along complacency and slothfulness Whenever we neglect His Word and succumb to our weakness… Now, we pray for revival, begging for His help with our gratefulness.
