The Seer of God

UV 3189/10000 The Seer of God
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully
Psalm 24 v 4
The back up of patience is character, the back up of joy is hope, the back up of confidence is ability, the back up of courage is faith. A godly character manifests itself in the things we do and do not do. A person who fears God and desires to cultivate a pure heart and character, keeps his hands clean from bribes, from stealing, from shedding blood in violence. Scripture states that a person who steals or takes bribes allows a curse to enter his house to destroy it from within. A person who keeps his lips pure alone can remain a priest before God. He should use his words and his knowledge to preserve genuine faith in God and therefore, he helps to preserve and sustain life. He should not make false promises or raise his soul in worship or reverence to that which he knows not to be the Creator and Redeemer.
Jesus promised that , “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.” When we wash our hearts every day with the word and lead a testimonial life, we have the grace to see God. It does not mean that we will literally see God but we will see God in everything we do and in everything that happens to us. We will perceive the mercy, grace, love and power of God at work in practical ways in our everyday lives. We continually experience the presence of God in our hearts and nearest to us at all times. Our souls become extensions of the kingdom of God on earth. We do not have to search for God anywhere for He is Immanuel –God with us and within us.
The presence of God with us blesses the work of our hands and the words of our mouth as well as the thoughts, emotions and intentions of our innermost being. We develop the patience to wait for His answers to our prayers in the time of His favour. We have the courage to face and endure anything as He is with us as a mighty warrior. He anoints our lips and makes our tongues like sharpened swords of fire, our mouths the scabbards. He keeps our eyes from tears and our feet from stumbling. He gives us unction or divine enablement in our functions. In short, the Lord beatifies our character and beautifies our lives. We yield ourselves as clay in the hands of the Divine Potter.
