~Refreshment Requires Help From Above~

Come Christians, Join and Sing!

This morning I felt refreshed after reading Patriarchs and Prophets, the end of the chapter on Cain and Abel. After that I felt impressed to read Amos 5. I scrolled down and my eyes fell on this verse: "Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph."(ESV)

Following that I had a recollection of one episode of Pathways of Our Pioneers. "Those of you who have clean hands and a pure heart shall be able to stand."

I looked up James 4 and searched Psalm 24. A good reminder of what we need to remember. I read the remaining part of Amos 5 and it's a woe to those who desire the Day of the Lord because it's dark. But getting the feel of that chapter, and what I've read in James and Psalm 24, it is only those with clean hands and a pure heart who can withstand the Day of the Lord.
