DAILY SHOWER May 14, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_O God, I thank You for today. Please open my eyes that I may know You and walk accordingly in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Strangers for Christ
Text: 1 Peter 1: 13-19 (NIV):
"1:13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
1:14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.
1:15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;
1:16 for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."
1:17 Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.
1:18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers,
1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect."
*SHOWER:*
When one is in Christ he is a new creature and old things have passed away. Today's scripture is telling us to return to Him and unto Him alone. It says we must be Holy because Christ is Holy. To be holy entails to forsake the things of the world and embrace only what Christ wants.
