Read Proverbs 14:12.
This week, we will explore Scriptures that point to the holiness of God and some which show us that God calls us to be holy as well. Every day, we are faced with choices about how we are to live. We look around us and see people who have chosen certain ways and appear to be happy and prosperous. Marketing ads are so good at making their products seem like the secret to happiness and contentment. Our social media “friends” seem to have it all together, and we wonder whether our choices should mimic theirs. We must remember that we are to build our lives on foundations of rock, not on sand; and some of the most appealing choices are sand. Today’s verse reminds us that we must seek God’s will in making our choices. One of the very best ways to do this is to read and study the teachings and actions of Christ, who came to show us God’s nature and will. The word “holy” simply means set apart and different. When we are choosing between ways of living, living a holy life may mean taking the harder path.
Pray with me: Gracious God, help me to know the way you would have me go. Guide me daily in my choices and help me to be brave enough to be holy, even if that prevents me from being popular or cool. Amen!
