You
Ought
To
Live
Holy
And Godly Lives
Scripture
2
Peter 3
10 But 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 done in it will be laid bare.
11 Since
everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought
you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives
12 as you look
forward to the day of God and speed its coming That day will bring
about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will
melt in the heat.
13
But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new
heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
Observation
Here
is how I view the future and I know that it is pretty simplistic: our
world is going to continue to get worse and more ungodly until the
day the Lord returns.
And
passages like the one today in 2 Peter 3 is why I hold this view.
But
regardless of whether the world around me gets worse or not, I am
still supposed to live a holy and godly life and so are you!
What
does that mean exactly?
I
think it means that you and I are to say no to sin and yes to God and
put Him first in our lives everyday!
Application
I
will say “yes” to God and “no” to sin today. How about you?
Matthew
6
33
But seek first his kingdom and
his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You love me so much. You love the person that may be reading
this blog so much. Help us to stay away from sin and stay close to
You. Don't let us yield to the temptations that come our way today.
Help us to be strong. Help us to live holy and godly lives for You
today.
