His Word for Today

This morning’s verses talk about holiness being set apart from others for the Lord. Do people in this world recognize that we are different from the crowd? If people don’t recognize that we are separate and holy, we need to choose to make the change.  Have we chosen to be grateful in everything?

(Ref Galatians 5:16) In other words, this is one of the ways that the Lord deals with our addictions, negative, ungodly habits.

This morning’s verses talk about holiness.  Holiness in the Scriptures means setting apart. (Ref Leviticus 20:26, Jeremiah 1:5) Are we set apart from the darkness in this world? Do people recognize that we are different from the ordinary? Do we stand out from the crowd? The key here is not to blend with darkness but to shed our light on darkness impacting lives.

This morning's devotional talks about believers being set apart.  Are we set apart? Do we see the fruit that we are different as lights in the darkness? Are we afraid of being different? We may feel uncomfortable being different but that may be a sign that we are set apart. We may even stand out in the Church among believers.  Today, let us accept the truth that we are holy and set apart as believers.
