When I accepted Christ into my life, I was called to be Holy
because Jesus now dwelt inside of me. I
was being set apart for His will and His glory.
Set apart doesn’t mean that I am perfect or above anyone else. That is not possible because I am human. I am flawed.
I will make mistakes until the day I see Him face to face. However, I am sanctified and justified by the
blood of Christ. Justified means -
because of Christ, it is Just As If I have never sinned so I can come to the
throne of God through the blood of Christ.
Christ died for my sins, and I became sanctified through Him.
Each day I wake up is a blessing as I remember I have been
set apart by God to do His will for the day.
What a great way to wake up, right?
He woke me up today to lean into Him, and then plan my day with Christ
in the forefront of my mind. Does that
mean I should not think about anything else?
No, that would be foolishness because I must work to eat and live.
We can lean into Him each morning and mentally prepare
ourselves for His will. That is the ongoing
process that brings us closer to our Heavenly Father and helps to conform our will
to His.
It is a daily struggle.
But the more we press into him, the closer we will reach that state of
being ‘set apart’. When you wake up
tomorrow, take a moment and lean into Christ.
Listen for His will for your day.
And then watch what He can do with a willing servant. <><
Leviticus 20:26
You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy, and I
have set you apart from the nations to be my own.
