Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the LORD! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in His ways!

Lord, You showed me this morning that the blessing comes not from the place but from the Presence in the place. Now, You are showing me that the blessing comes not from the doing, the obedience to the Law, but from the Presence that is in the obedience. When I obey, my relationship with You is no longer sullied by disobedience and is full and complete.

Therefore, my goal, my purpose, my intent has to be to purge that which sullies and enhance that which purifies and enables. A task far beyond my feeble strivings, but easily within Your power to transform my lowly body into one like Your glorious body; that same power by which all things are subject to You.
