Holy Holy Holy Lord God Almighty .. [Agnus Dei]
1 Peter 1:3-9 (KJV)
15But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Called To Be Holy (Because God is Holy)

How rich and matchless are the glorious gifts of GOD unto His children. Through Christ, we know “joy unspeakable and full of glory” (1 Peter 1:8) that cannot be attained any other way. What security have we who through faith receive an “inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and that fadeth not away.” (1 Peter 1:4) The hope we have through Christ Jesus is made of sterner stuff than we ourselves, for we are saved from corruption into in-corruption and from perishableness into righteous immortality.
How incredible that we are called to be holy, because “He who called you is holy.” Yet it is not through our strength of desire or will that we can ever be made holy: We are made holy only through the strength and righteousness of Jesus, who sacrificed His life that we might be reconciled to GOD. Hallelujah!! Glory be to GOD most high!!
Prayer: Thank You LORD, that hope is not dead for those who trust in You. Thank you for the “lively hope” that you have caused to be birthed in the hearts of You children. Help us LORD in this journey into holiness. Help us to want to be like Jesus. Help us to think as He thinks, to value what He values, and to hate what He hates. May we ever know, “joy unspeakable and full of glory,” for nowhere else in the universe, and in no one and nothing else in the universe can this be found.
We pray for our nation, and for believers everywhere, that we may attain unto righteousness. May all who claim the name of Jesus seek His face daily and live as unto GOD. May those who do not want to know Him, see Him, and be compelled to embrace the true faith.
For strength and healing for family, friends, and loved ones we pray; that when we suffer, we lean upon the Savior, for by His “stripes we are healed.” Grant unto us the faith of Jesus, and may the smallest faith be that of the mustard seed. Father, teach us how to speak to the mountain, that it be removed and cast into the sea. May we know in our hearts that it will be so, even before it happens.
Dear LORD, precious GOD, infuse our hearts with love for our Savior, that we may live a life that is pleasing unto you. Help us this day to walk in the steps you have laid out for us to walk in. These things ask in the mighty and precious name of Jesus. Amen, and Amen! and Amen!
Until we meet again: “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” (Ephesians 6:10)
