HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD

IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, OCTOBER 4, 2012

HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD


 Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the first-fruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD. JEREMIAH 2:3

We are Holiness unto the Lord.  We are consecrated to the service of God,  As we go about our Father's business we shall be a peculiar people, known of God; the LORD will lift up his countenance upon us and give up peace.

As Abraham, the father of the Jewish nation, was called out of his native land, we, too, must go the distance away from the worldliness of our past.  God's goals and  purposes look nothing like the world's.  Our pursuit is wholly different from that which our fleshly nature desired to pursue.

 It is through prayer, devotion and supplication that we will follow GOD in His consecrated service.
Today, write it upon your breastplate:  HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD.
