Make a difference thru a Holy Spirit filled life. “Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, BE YE HOLY; FOR I AM HOLY.”
I Peter 1:13-16
I fear too many practice religion and thus put on a religious face for those at church and are a completely different person on the job and around their friends. Living in such a manner ultimately will inflict much damage upon their families with such inconsistent lives. We cannot fool God; and those who walk closely with God will find us out sooner than later. Dear Christian, your testimony will either build those around you up or tear them down. Your life will either plant good seed in the soil of your family or there will be the possibility of crop failure due to your chameleon like behavior. God is not glorified by the christian that fashions their life after the things of this world.
David wrote, “Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? He that hath clean hands and a pure heart.” (Psalm 24:3-4) A holy life will be an empowered life. A holy life will be a Spirit filled life. A life separated unto God will have a sweet aroma that will permeate through the darkness and sinfulness of this lost world- It will be seen and it will be noticed because it will be of God. And thus- a holy life will lead to a deep abiding closeness to the God of the universe and my friend there could never be a better place for one to be found. I would rather be a sharpened tool in the hands of Almighty God than an unclean instrument propped up in the corner of life's shed. A holy life will make a difference in the lives of those that God brings across your path.
Take time to take stock of your life today. Lay it all out before God. Allow your words to echo those of David, "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts" Psalm 139:23
