James 4:8 NASB "Come close to God and He will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded."I was called in to dinner that my wife had prepared! Today's verse is about coming close to God and making sure we have clean hands and hearts! As I began to walk back into the house, I realized my hands were filthy from working on the my vehicle! They were covered with oil and debris and needed to be washed before I could enter the house and sit to eat with my wife. Taking the time to clean up meant that I respected my wife and the meal she prepared rather than eating with filthy hands. I couldn't help but wonder how many times I had come to the Lord with less than clean hands or a full heart?! Having sin in our life and asking God to bless our day just ain't gonna happen. Let's make sure we aren't double-minded when we come to Christ. It's hard to keep one eye on us and one eye on Him, so let's focus on Him and be respectful!  peace, tom
