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. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
Psalm 24:3-5

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Matthew 5:8

If we want to have a new heart in the new year we must recognize what God wants our hearts to be like.  Today we learn that God wants our hearts to be pure.  What’s important to know is that we can’t completely do that on our own.  God has to clean our hearts, but we’ve got to do our part.

What are some ways we can keep our hearts pure before God?
