March 6 "Purged" Deuteronomy 21-23

"And, as the land of Israel was pure and clean" . . . so the church is washed and cleansed by the complete satisfaction which thus Christ made."  Matthew Henry

You must purge the evil from among you."  Deuteronomy 21:21

All rebellion, no matter where it comes from.
May we surrender our tears and fears every single day
as we mercifully cry for those in rebellion.
And may they know Sweet Surrender.

DEAR GOD, CHANGE ME IN ONE OF OUR 10,000 MOMENTS:  May we choose to live every day of our lives surrendered for ourselves and for those we love.
