Blessed Are The Pure In Heart Part 2. Mathew 5 Bible Study

I love the promise in Mathew 5:8 that the pure in heart will see God.  This seeing is not limited to when we see Him face to face for all eternity.  This seeing also refers to the connection, the closeness, the sense of intimacy with God that is gained when our hearts are pure.  I love how Psalm 24:3-4 puts it, “ Who may climb the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?  Only those whose hands and hearts are pure.” When you have a pure heart, you see God so clearly.  He reveals His truth to you when you are studying His word.  Purity of heart opens the door for you to sit at the table as a member of the family and feast on the bread of life.   He floods you with His presence and you “see” Him show up on your behalf and shower you with mercy and grace.  It’s also worth mentioning that trouble and difficulty are tools that God uses to bring our hearts to a place of purity.  The fire of difficulties serves as a spiritual detox. Impurities rise to the surface in the fire, and we are able to be purified. I encourage you not to shun the idea of difficulty because it gives you clearer vision to see God.

Be Blessed
