HOLINESS
LEVITICUS 22:32 (NLT)
Do not bring shame on my holy name...
1 PETER 1:15 (CEV)
Always live as God’s holy people should, because God is the one who chose you, and he is holy.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Live a life in line with the character and nature of God.
PRAYER
Holy God, you set a high bar for us. I want to live a holy life but ambition gets lost in the clutter of life and I end up going with the flow. Help me to break free from the flow and to live differently. I'm going to think and act differently because you are so different. I'm going to live a "holy" life. Amen.
