Psalms 97 - Motives and Joy

10 Let those who love the Lord hate evil.
The one who guards the lives of his godly ones
will rescue them from the power of wicked people.
11 Light dawns for righteous people
and joy for those whose motives are decent.
12 Find joy in the Lord, you righteous people.
Give thanks to him as you remember how holy he is.
Psalms 97:10-12 (GW)

Reflection of B:

When our motives are wrong, we won't find joy. Our conscience will be darken and joy will elude us. God is righteous. In order to find joy in Him, we have to be righteous like Him and hate evil.


Dear Lord,
Search my heart and my thoughts right now. If there is any unrighteousness in me, cleanse me and make me whole. Wash me and make me white as snow, through the blood of Jesus Christ Your Son. Keep my heart pure, Lord.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
