最近我一直在思考詩篇24篇：

"誰能登耶和華的山？誰能站在他的聖所？就是手潔心清、不向虛妄、起誓不懷詭詐的人。......" （詩篇24:3-4）
　
這首詩將站在聖所的想法與需要清潔的心和手聯繫在一起。我喜歡希伯來的祭司們在聖殿中有意地塑造了這一點。在外院幫助人們獻祭之後，他們走到一邊，在 銅"洗濯盆"裡洗淨自己的手和腳。所有的汗水和灰塵都在清水的流動中被洗去。只有在洗淨之後，他們才能自由地進入聖所，一個親密崇拜的神聖空間。
　
有時，聖靈吸引我們進入那個潔淨的地方，在一個新層面上淨化我們的心，使我們意識到我們需要放棄或改變的東西。當這種情況發生時，我們可以肯定，新層次的敬拜正在到來。當我們擁抱清潔和醫治的旅程時，前面還有很多東西！
　
禱告：天父，請以更深的方式潔淨我的心，使我能與祢一起步入聖潔之處。

STAND CLEAN IN THE HOLY PLACE
REBECCA FRIEDLANDER
2022.3.22

Recently I've been thinking about Psalm 24:

"Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol..." (Psalm 24:3-4)

This psalm ties together the idea of standing in holy places with the need for a clean heart and hands. I love how the Hebrew priests intentionally modeled this in the temple. After helping the people offer sacrifices in the outer court, they deliberately stepped aside and washed their hands and feet in a bronze basin called "the laver." All of the sweat and dust was washed away in the flow of fresh water. Only after washing were they free to enter the Holy Place, a sacred space of intimate worship.

Sometimes the Holy Spirit draws us into that place of cleansing, purifying our hearts at a new level, making us aware of things we need to let go of or change. When that happens, we can be sure that new levels of worship are coming. As we embrace the cleansing and healing journey, there's so much more ahead!

Prayer: Father, please cleanse my heart in deeper ways so I can step into holy places with you.
