Read Proverbs chapter 20

VERSE:

Proverbs 20:9–Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin”?

TRUTH:

The answer: none of us can say this. No one is able to truthfully claim that they have kept their heart pure and without sin. People have tried to claim this, but they are lying. Do we try to deceive ourselves into thinking that we’re not that bad? We are all sinners and have all fallen short of all that God desires. Have we accepted His forgiveness and are we allowing Him to live through us?

RESPONSE:

Father, I am not good on my own. I am nothing on my own. Only through You am I able to be without sin. You are pure and clean and without sin and I will allow You to move through me in all I do.
