The Place

 The devotional that I thought about the most this week is.....

 February 14~ The Pure Heart (Matt.5:1-12 & Psalm 24:1-4)
 The challenge was given to keep our hearts pure, unlike the
 Pharisees who seemed pure but it was all on the outside...
 We know from the text in Matthew that the pure in heart will
 see God. Shirley had a great quote in the book, "The outward
 actions reveal the inward heart".  There is so much truth to this
 statement..... I've also heard this "What is in the heart comes out
 through the mouth." We can look great on the outside, but does
 what comes out of our mouth glorify God? Does it make us
 like a Pharisee, all clean looking on the outside but full of dead
 man's bones inside? Maybe we need to ask like David did in
 Psalm 51...."Create in me a clean heart, O God...."
