We Are to Be Holy People

Scripture Exodus 22:31 “You are to be my holy people. So do not eat the meat of an animal torn by wild beasts; throw it to the dogs.

Observation: Holy means to be set apart. We are to be different then the people of the world. God has given us things we must do to be holy in His Word and if we obey the world will know that we Are different. Unfortunately we Christians blend into the world so well that no one can see the difference and then no one can see God through our lives. God has set us apart and as rewarded us because of Jesus. We have eternal life through Christ and God’s hope is that we bring others into His grace so they too will be saved, but we need to be holy so others can see.

Application: Jesus said not to hide your light under a bushel, but to allow it to shine brightly so others can see. That is being holy, set apart from God. I need to be obedient to what God has called me to be and share with others what God has done for me and what he wants to do with them. Give every man an answer of the hope that dwells inside of me.

Prayer: My Lord help me be holy in this unholy world. It seems each day the world becomes more corrupt, help me be a light to others and use me to fulfill the purpose you have created me for. Help me shine brightly for you.
