Leviticus 11:44 The world, since Genesis 3, has been in a world of hurt and sin (putting it mildly). It has made rules that God doesn’t ask for, and disregards the rules God does prescribe. And it hasn’t stopped. So how do we become different in this world while living in it? It is often very difficult but the key thing is to remember the words of the One who created the world and humans, and not the one who deceived humans and twisted the world. To be everyday saints, we must be holy and think and act as holy beings, despite our sinful nature.
Questions for further thought: 1. What does it mean in your life to be holy? 2. Where are the areas in your life in which, frankly, more holiness might be needed? Challenge: Lord Jesus, we do know that we need to be different, and we need to be “in the world, not of it.” Help us to become more holy in the way you want us to be, as we know we neither understand nor can do alone. In your name, Amen.
