Scripture reading
But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
–1 Peter 1:15-16
Thought of the Day
How holy do you feel today? How about yesterday? I will be honest with you. There are some days that I feel like I am on top of the Holy hill and other days that I am full of holes. I think that the reason I think this is that I forget how I am holy. I am not holy for the things that I do. I am holy because “He who called me is holy”.
John Wesley, the founder of Methodism wrote this about holiness. I like it.
“Always remember the essence of Christian holiness is simplicity and purity:
one design, one desire: entire devotion to God.”
Prayer
Lord, I am holy and wholly in You. Amen.
