SETTING OUR HEART

[Albert Finch]

Ephesians 5:26 - "So that He might sanctify her (the church), having cleansed her by the washing of the water with the Word."

More than once the Word of God is referred to as water. The blood deals with sin, but it's water that addresses impurity.

Exodus 38:8 - "He made the laver and its base of bronze from the mirrors of the women who ministered at the door of the Tent of Meeting."

It's not an accident that the laver of water was made from the mirrors of the women, as the Bible tells us that the Word of God is like a mirror.

2 Corinthians 3:18 - "And all of us, as with unveiled face, because we continued to behold in the Word of God as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever-increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit."

When we come to God's Word, we will reproduce what we see.

Proverbs 23:7 - "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he."

Affirmations:

WHATEVER MY HEART IS SET UPON WHEN I COME TO THE BIBLE, WILL DETERMINE MUCH OF WHAT I SEE IN THE BIBLE.

For example, if I come to God's Word with evangelism on my mind, the Bible will open up new Scriptures that I never previously considered to be evangelistic. What I carry to this watering hole will determine much of what I see and reproduce. (Genesis 30:37-39)

MY DESPERATION FOR THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT IS ON MY HEART MAKES ME AVAILABLE FOR THINGS THAT OTHERS SEEM TO CONTINUALLY MISS.

BY KEEPING A PURE HEART, THE JOURNEY TO GOD'S WORD IS A JOURNEY WHERE NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME.
