LEVITICUS 19:2 (ABP)
I am GOD -- your God. I am also uniquely immaculate. So you should be uniquely immaculate, too.
EPHESIANS 1:12 (CEB)
We are called to be an honor to God’s glory because we were the first to hope in Christ.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's people have always been called to a unique life that is about honoring God.
DAILY FODDER
How does your life bring honor to God? How is it unique, compared to the way that the rest of the world lives?
PRAYER
God, thank you for calling us to partner with you in the management and restoration of your creation. I admit I've treated this calling as more of a hobby than a vocation. I need to clean up my act so that I'm truly functioning as a partner of Christ Jesus with his unique agenda and approach defining my life. I know that I can't actually do this myself and that I need to stay close to him so that his holiness rubs off on me. This is how I'm going to honor you. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
