DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 31; Job 42; Matt. 17:14 to 18:14
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:16
God’s ultimate plan for each believer is absolute holiness. In the meantime He asks that we daily pursue practical holiness. Knowing He is holy, we yearn to be like Him. Knowing He is God, we choose to obey Him. Knowing this delights Him, we strive to please Him. We have the resources: the Scriptures to enlighten us, the Holy Spirit to comfort, convict, and encourage us and Christ our faithful High Priest. May we daily be a pleasing reminder to Him of His beloved Son. —George Ferrier
Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul,
Each thought and each motive beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.
—William D. Longstaff
