54 “HOLY TO THE LORD”
Exodus 28:36
These precious words and glorious title were etched into a plate of pure gold and was put on the front of the High Priests turban. This was to be his waking concern, the glory of living in holiness to the Lord.
This must be our constant concern if we are to make progress in our Christian lives and find the peace of serving our God and glorifying Him every day we live. Our thoughts must be full of the Lord and able to interpret the circumstances of our lives as God would have us do. We must train our mind to think clean and godly thoughts and not to fall into worldly ways of thinking. This will impact on our behaviour, and we will not seek restitution from the world, but in the Word of God.
God is HOLY. He will not tolerate any sin and neither should we. We find it very easy to justify ourselves and argue ourselves into sinful practices. We must be different to this world. If we are seamlessly fitting in, we should be asking questions of our Christians life. We must know the Scripture and spend time in it every day and prolonged periods each week as we study with God. The Word of God is also HOLY and we can depend on it to judge our activities, our mindset and attitudes. We must conform to the Lord and not our own selfish ways.
“because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
