James 1:27 (Pt. 2) Thought/Prayer: Horizontality and Verticality. Topics: 2 at end.
“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” KJV http://www.bible.com (Read this scripture and more at http://prayerpivot.com)
Perhaps this scripture carries us in two directions. In a sense, horizontally we see ourselves reaching out to others who are having a tough time dealing with life’s menu. Secondly, we see ourselves looking and seeking vertically, toward our Lord, to ask Him to help us be pure and unblemished in a world known for impurity and nasty blemishes of person and soul.
To be undefiled is to be uncontaminated, to be free of desecration. To be pure is, of course, to be without impurities. My mother used to purchase Ivory soap. Its ad presented it as 99.44% pure. Even that soap apparently had some contaminates! Maybe that, however, represents most of us Christians. Just not quite totally pure. But can we not attempt the challenge? Even though we may not be totally pure until Heaven, we can still ask our Father to keep us as pure as possible on this earth.
But we must week Him constantly, or this purity-thing will just be another “thing.” Lord, help us to seek your pure face and to desire to let ourselves be as pure as You will make us. Lord, help us by doing this, to then be able to serve “horizontally” the best that we can.
Topics: Help us submit to You, Lord. We want to as we serve families in crisis.
