Give Us Pure Hearts

When I was a young lad in Sunday School, I can remember singing the song, "Be Careful Little Eyes." Do any of you remember that song? It still ministers to me today - so much truth. It placed a seal of protection over my eyes, ears, hands, feet and mouth at a very young age every time I sang it. I just wish I would have truly listened to the words in my High School/College days.

Too many Christians are not consistent in their walks, even as I wasn't. They open their eyes, ears, hands, feet and mouth to temptation and play with it for awhile thinking they can always just ask for forgiveness...I can tell you this with all certainty, if you play with fire - you are going to get burned. If you "continue" in the flesh, no ritual can save you.

Look what Isaiah has to say about the Jews, God's chosen people. "These people draw near with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me.....(Isaiah 29:13)

We may go to church, sing the songs, know and read the word. But none of this makes us the children of God - only a true relationship with Jesus can do that. He sees our hearts, He sees our actions, He knows our motives. So be careful little eyes, ears, hands, feet and mouth what you say and do.

The Truth
Spoken by another song - Give Us Clean Hands (short version)
By Chris Tomlin

We bow our hearts - We bend our knees - Oh Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyes - From evil things - Oh Lord we cast down our idols.
So give us clean hands - give us pure hearts. Let us not lift our souls to another.
So give us clean hands - give us pure hearts. Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh God let this be, a generation that seeks - seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob.
