The generation of those that seek Him

"Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false...Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob.
Psalm 24:3-4,6

The question is asked by the psalmist David, "Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? The Scriptures then goes on to give the answer, and in verse six it says that such is the generation of those that seek God, that seek His face, the God of Jacob.

Are we of the generation that seeks God? Am I part of this generation that desires to know God and be found in Him - the true and Living God (O God of Jacob). The answer of who is part of this generation is clearly revealed:

1.Those who have clean hands, speaks of cleansing, those who have had their sins forgiven and have been washed in the redeeming blood of Jesus.

2.Have a pure heart, walk and motives are pure before the Lord, there is no hidden sin or guilt.

3.Do not lift up their soul to an idol, affections are set on the Lord, He is first in their life.

4.Do not swear falsely, speaks what is true and right, there is no deceit in them.

May we be part of this generation that seeks God with our whole heart.

prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, may I be part of the generation that seeks your face, that desires to be found in You and walks close to You. I ask for Your grace to enable me and to help in my weaknesses. I praise You, in Jesus name, amen.
