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."

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

If God has called us to be holy, what are we doing daily to be like Him? Are we living like the world, laughing at crude jokes, socially drinking because 'it's not like you're getting drunk', dressing for attention, cutting people off in traffic, or being rude to cashiers? We are all guilty of sin, and I find myself caught in little sins daily. If we go on habitually sinning we are not glorifying God OR are we obeying Jesus, our Lord. He told us to be holy because He is holy. He is our example. Let's follow Him, in the little things. We have to repent and know that He is faithful and just to forgive us. Each day is a new day to spend glorifying and knowing God.

How are you going to spend your days?

Happy New Year and Fresh Start

So it's a new year.
Things are new for me. Lots of changes going on. I want to blog more and write more this year. Where to begin?

I just want my life to glorify God in all the little things I do. Sometimes I don't think I realize what I am doing or saying. I need to work on that. I need to keep my mind on the big picture and what God wants me to do, not what I want.

Blessings to you in the new year!

O Worship the King, all glorious above
O gratefully sing His power and love!
Our shield and defender the ancient of days
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise
