Scripture: 1st Peter 1:14-16
Like obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires that you formerly had in ignorance. Instead, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; for it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
Thought for the Day: I grew-up hearing Robin, the sidekick to the Caped Crusader, offer rather strange statements that all began with the word, holy. He said, “Holy Sardine!” when Batman was bitten by a shark. “Holy dive-bombers, Batman” was Robin’s response to attacking crows. Hundreds of such exclamations peppered both the TV series and cartoons. The word holy in this case, and in the current culture when it is often the prelude to an obscenity, is an empty word. This is unfortunate when in fact the word is an important adjective describing the character of God as well as those who faithfully followed. These are the ones and the One who deserve our honor for having a core identity of love, sacrifice and sacredness. Holiness should be both respected and emulated.
Prayer: You are holy, O Magnificent God, and I desire your help in growing my life to more fully represent the sacredness of your being. Amen.
