1 Peter 1:15-16
But as he who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, be ye holy; for I am holy.
What of Today’s Verse…
“Holy” is one of those words we generally associate with the “stained glass ghetto” — a word only “church folks” use. That may be true, but it’s still a great concept. Every kid knows that you don’t eat hot dogs and potato chips on china. Mom’s china is reserved for “special company” or “special occasions.” Hot dogs are for paper plates and every day, china is for special events. When God is calling us to be holy, he’s calling us to be china — something special just for him, and as Peter emphasizes, just like him.
Let us Pray:
Holy Lord, God Almighty, I come before you knowing how great the distance is between your holiness and my commonness. I thank you for making me holy through the sacrifice of Jesus and by sending your Holy Spirit to live inside of me. Please receive my life today as a holy offering to you. ! Through Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith I pray. Amen.’
Words of Wisdom
A king asked a spiritualist to explain the Truth. In response the spiritualist asked the king how he would convey the taste of a mango to someone who had never eaten anything sweet. No matter how hard the king tried, he could not adequately describe the flavor of the fruit, and, in frustration, he demanded of the spiritualist “Tell me then, how would you describe it?” The spiritualist picked up a mango and handed it to the king saying “This is very sweet. Try eating it!”
