Living in Holiness<br />

READ: Psalm 96:7-10<br />

KEY VERSE: Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before<br />

Him, all the earth. -Psalm 96:9 (NKJV)<br />

We have so many choices and options in reaching our goals in life that we<br />

often rely on ourselves and forget where all our help comes from. We should<br />

recognize that God our creator is the one who provides all our knowledge<br />

and skills. By getting to know God personally, we will realize that there is none<br />

like Him.<br />

We demonstrate to God our desire to live for Him through worship and<br />

trusting that He must cleanse us, separate us from the things that minimize<br />

our relationship with Him, and transform us from our old ways. The Apostle<br />

Paul tells us that we are to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy,<br />

acceptable to God, which is reasonable and what He deserves.<br />

Never forget what God did for us by the sacrifice of His son, Jesus Christ.<br />

In return, we should lead lives that are set apart from all things that do not<br />

honor Him. Only then can His glory and power be revealed to all nations.<br />

–Rev. Greg Barrett<br />

LOOKING WITHIN: How can living my life in holiness please God and give<br />

back to Him that which is due?<br />

Father in Heaven, forgive me when my life has not been one of holiness.<br />

May your holy splendor cause me to no longer live outside of your desire<br />

for me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.<br />
