Aug 21-23

Its the cry of our heart to hunger and thirst and to get more of God, to behold and become more like Him (2Cor 3:18).
But we are not hungering and thirsting for no reason, we are hungering and thirsting because we know we will one day see Him.
So here is our focus:1Jn 3:3

And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

We fix our hope on Jesus and we get purified. What a sweet deal...
We purify ourselves by abiding in the Lord (1Jn 3:6)
We abide in Him by interacting with the Holy Spirit and by rooting ourselves in the Word. God will have His way in our lives and no matter how lightly or extremely you take action to follow this out you will see fruit because God will bring it about to bring glory to His Name.
So we fast and we pray and we push on to fix our hope on Jesus and to purify ourselves. We MUST take ACTION to purify ourselves!!!!!!
Amen
