Numbers 31:22-24
emphasizes the importance of cleansing. The healing of the demon-possessed man, in Luke 8, emphasizes the power of Christ to
cleanse even the most sinful of people. To be cleansed from sin involves
an act of the will on our part - “I will watch my ways and keep my
tongue from sin” (Psalm 39:1).
The Psalmist does not only speak of being kept from sin. He also speaks
about being on fire for the Lord: “My heart grew hot within me; and as I
meditated, the fire burned, then I spoke with my tongue” (Psalm 39:3).
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word … will not return to Me empty, but will … achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
