What do you want to be when you grow up? This question is universally asked of young children...and sometimes of much older ones. The answers for my generation were things like a policeman, a nurse, a teacher and so on. This generation may offer these answers: an attorney, a doctor, a professor, an illustrator, a software developer, a social worker etc. Our culture has upped the bar of possibilities.
In the world of sports there are numerous heroes of the game. These athletes are looked upon by the younger generation as something they can become - a basketball, baseball, football or any sport star. The chances are few but the dreams are big.
As committed followers of Christ and children of God we are called to BE WHAT?
I am the Lord, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy. Leviticus 11:45 NIV
To ‘BE HOLY’ means remembering what God has done in our lives and then responding with reverent living before Him.
…let the one who is righteous continue to live righteously; let the one who is holy continue to be holy. Revelation 22:11 NLT
To “BE HOLY” also requires a daily decision to live by God's rules.
But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; I Peter 12:15 NLT
To "BE HOLY” means continually checking ourselves for pure and God-honoring thoughts, deeds and direction.
REMINDER: “There is no eternal value in doing something well that you shouldn’t be doing at all.” Unknown
PRAYER: Check my heart, my motives, and my intentions, Lord, as I strive to walk in holiness before you. I want only to BE WHAT you want me to be. Thank you for your ever-present direction and correction. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
GROW INTO THE SHOES GOD HAS FOR YOU!
