Day 29 Reading: Exodus 8-9, Matthew 19:13-30, Psalm 24 and Proverb 6:1-5 
In today’s scripture passages, the reader is given several questions to ponder and two particular questions lead to eternal destinations. The first inquiry is from Psalms; “Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place?” The second query is taken from Matthew where a young man with great possessions investigated Jesus concerning his eternal destiny; “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?”(MAT19:16) The issue between these two questions is what kind of person will enter into the presence of God.
Jesus’ response to the young man brought him sorrow and followed with astonishment to his disciples. The Psalmist’s answer brings joy and promise. Dear reader, take a moment and consider your position with this issue. Who you are and what you do has eternal consequences and rewards.
"Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place?" – Psalm 24:3 (English Standard Version)
"Lord, You know me, my ways, my heart, - who I am. My desire is to be with you forever. Please search my heart and my motives and show me anything that hinders me from having a strong vibrant relationship with you. Thank you for Your grace, forgiveness, and great love. In Jesus Name. Amen."
