Family of God: [FamilyofGod] 1 Peter 1:13-15

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ: as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct........1 Peter 1:13-15

Holiness is not just for some select few spiritual giants; it is not just for pious people who sit around all day with nothing to do but "be holy."… "Everyone who names the name of the Lord" is called to live a holy life!..............Nancy Leigh DeMoss

Dear Heavenly Father

Thank You for not calling on just a select few to be holy, but for calling out everyone who has called upon the name of Jesus to be holy. It is our job, it is our duty, it is our responsibility to put away our old wants and desires of this world, and focus on the Kingdom that You have prepared for us. It does not mean we can't be happy or enjoy the things that You have blessed us with, what it means is that loving and being obedient to You comes before all else. It means that our sinful past behaviors must change so that the light of Christ shines through us. It means that we must love one another as You first loved us. It means putting the needs of others above our own. It means being motivated to live a "holy" life. Dear Lord, help us to conform to the "holy" character that You desire us to be and let that desire be our desire. In Jesus most precious name, I pray. Amen.
