1 Peter 1:13-25
English Standard Version
Called to Be Holy
13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action,[a] and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you 21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, 23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24 for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, 25 but the word of the Lord remains forever.”
And this word is the good news that was preached to you.
1 Peter 2:1-3
English Standard Version
A Living Stone and a Holy People
1 So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. 2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
ObservationSince Kim and I were talking about the people who hurt us GOD is telling me today to forgive them and let go of the offenses for these will hinder our prayers
ApplicationI will forgive and let go... I will ask GOD to help me forgive and let go and keep forgiving even more...
PrayersFATHER, it is hard to let go but YOU can do it through me, YOU can help me to let go of offenses and grievances that I have with Dean Denesse and Kristin because I want YOU to answer our prayers O LORD. Help us to answer to let go of everything not of YOU because we want to be holy O GOD, we want to be perfect, we want YOU to be pleased in us, to keep abiding in us so that we will always be powerful and effective Christians, light, salt in this world. We want to shine YOUR glory O GOD Almighty so please help us O GOD to live for YOU and to be in the TRUTH, give us joy today, Kim and I, as we keep praying for the things that concern us O GOD. Give us joy and peace O GOD Almighty.
In the Name of YESHUA I pray AMen!
