“Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation” (Psa 24:3-5).

“Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up” (Jas 4:5-10).

The craziness of this pandemic masks, hand sanitizing, and social distancing I think about Psalm Chapter 24, “Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart…” I would ask you the question as we meditate on this verse, are your hands clean before God? I would encourage you to examine your heart. What is not clean in your life before God and your thought life and your desires and your words and your actions, where have you grown content with uncleanness? Where have you grown complacent with sin, thinking it’s no big deal?

The only way we can be before God is with clean hands and a pure heart. Now obviously that’s not possible on own. We need Jesus to clean our hands and to purify our hearts. We need his death on the cross as a covering for our sin, but then the picture, once we placed our faith in Christ is that we walk in holiness, we walk with clean hands and whenever we dirty our hands in sin in all kinds of different ways, then we come before God and we ask him for grace to cover over our sins. We ask for his forgiveness. We confess those sins. We ask him to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
