The Book of Psalms Chapter 24 V- Three thru Five

3 Who may go up the mountain of the LORD? Who can stand in his holy place? 4 “The clean of hand and pure of heart, who has not given his soul to useless things, what is vain. 5 He will receive blessings from the LORD, and justice from his saving God. 6 Such is the generation that seeks him.

Psalm 24:3-6 poses a profound inquiry into the nature of who may stand in the presence of the Lord. It asks, “Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?” The subsequent verses provide clarity, emphasizing purity of heart, righteousness, and the importance of seeking God. This passage resonates deeply with my own spiritual journey, particularly the enlightenment by the message of an angel I experienced when I surrendered my life to Christ.

When I made that pivotal decision to follow Christ, I felt an awakening within me—a divine clarity that transformed my approach to Scripture. It was as if God had opened my eyes, granting me the ability to discern His Word in deeper, more meaningful ways. This newfound understanding has been the foundation for the past 19 years of my life, as I have diligently studied, reflected upon, and written about the Scriptures calling it Universal Utterings. I have come to appreciate that the ability to “see” God’s truth is not merely academic; it is a spiritual gift that requires a heart aligned with Him.

The call to purity and righteousness in Psalm 24 challenges me to continually evaluate my own life. It reminds me that true discernment comes not just from intellectual engagement with Scripture, but from a heart that seeks after God. Each time I delve into His Word, I am reminded of the transformative power of surrender—how giving my life to Christ opened the door to deeper insights and a more profound relationship with Him and His Truth.

In this journey, I have learned that those who seek God with sincerity and integrity will find Him, as affirmed in this Psalm. This has been my experience, and it continues to inspire my writing and reflections on faith each and every day. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for our niece Brittany. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

Ephesians 6:17-20

10-25-2024 Psalm 28 V-0306

**Pure of Heart Will See Our Lord**

Who may ascend the holy hill,

To stand where God's own presence fills?

The pure in heart, with hands made clean,

In righteousness, they seek the unseen.

With lifted eyes and humble souls,

They long for truth, their spirit whole.

No deceit within, nor prideful claim,

They come to honor His great eternal name.

This is the generation bold,

Who seek His face, who seek His fold.

With every step, they draw more near,

In faith and love, they cast out fear.

O Lord, we yearn to know Your way,

To walk in light, to trust and pray.

With open hearts, we seek Your grace,

To stand before You, face to face.

So let us rise, with hearts aligned,

In purity, Your truth we'll find.

For those who seek, with earnest plea,

Shall find their rest, Lord, close to Thee. Amen.
