Isaiah 33:15 (NIV)
15 Those who walk righteously and speak what is right, who
reject gain from extortion and keep their hands from accepting bribes, who stop
their ears against plots of murder and shut their eyes against
contemplating evil
16 they are the ones who will dwell on the heights, whose
refuge will be the mountain fortress.
Their bread will be supplied, and water will not fail them.
Their bread will be supplied, and water will not fail them.
Being pure in conduct also includes honesty and integrity in
dealing with our fellowmen. A Christian should be known in his neighborhood or
place of business as an honest person, a person who can be trusted. Jesus said,
“Blessed are the pure in heart.” Do you want to be happy? All right, apply this
Beatitude to your heart. Take it to yourself.
The pure in heart are the only ones who can know what it
means to be supremely happy. Their hearts are pure toward God and, as a result
are pure toward their fellowmen. They are happy because, in possessing Him who
is All and in All, they envy no man’s worldly goods. They are happy because
they envy not another man’s praise. Because they are the enemy of no man, they
regard no man as their enemy. The result is peace with God and the world.
Thought for today: Can I examine and embrace my inner thoughts ?
