The day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives. — 2 Peter 3:10-11 NIV Holiness is that forgotten character virtue that is the Christians reflection of God, his or her holy and righteous Father. In a day when grace is so easily cheapened and denied its power, when anything goes just as long as we want to be buddies with Jesus, Peters words should shock us into reverence - the holy commitment to set our lives apart from the evil and satanic sludge that defiles our world and to offer our bodies, hearts, and minds to do His will and reflect His character, something I know personally I need to reflect on, pray for and earnestly seek and desire daily. Holy and Righteous Father, teach me to do Your will and reflect Your character while offering Your grace to others. May the movements of my heart, the thoughts of my mind, and the actions of my life be pleasing to You and reflect Your holiness and grace. In Jesus holy name I pray, amen and amen.
