Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His Holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart. Psalm 24:3-4
Jerusalem and the temple were on the highest hill in Israel. There were several cleansing rituals for them to reach the temple with clean hands. Unfortunately, there were no cleansing stations for the heart. Too often their relationships with the Father left them without pure hearts. May we remember as we approach worship, it is not our "Sunday-go-meeting" clothes, but pure hearts that open the doors to the heart of God. Jesus said it this way, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
