DAILY READINGS: Exodus 10; Psalms 42-43; Acts 4:32 to 5:11

LORD, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, and the place
where Thine honour dwelleth. Psalms 26:8
I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass Thine altar,
O LORD. Psalms 26:6

The Psalmist loved to spend time in the presence of the Lord, meditating
at the altar and dwelling on His beauties. He was conscious
that such communion needed personal, spiritual preparation. He
promised to approach God with washed hands, in innocence. Only
when our hearts and lives are right, and in tune with the music of
heaven is such worship possible and desirable. —Milton Haack

Thy guiding grace afford, teach me Thy way!
Help me to walk aright, more by faith, less by sight;
Lead me with heav’nly light, teach me Thy way! —B. M. Ramsey
