standards

 

Do we realize our need for the Holy Spirit?! also, do we realize how active He really is in our everyday life?!

I have been thinking the last couple days about the standard of living. you will find in my other blog, that it may kind of go along with this entry. but we are called to be Holy. and God has placed a general call, and a specific call on each of our lives. He has prepared good works for us to go out, and do, for His glory and His name’s sake.
This means that we have a standard to live by. We can’t just go about our lives, doing what we want to do, saying what we want to say, thinking what we want to think. We have a standard, that has been set by God that we need to abide by, and live by. and that standard is Holiness and Godliness.
This is not something men place on us, but something that God has placed on us.

I have been meditating on this, and I pray we all do. Because when we allow the reality of the truth of what it means for us to be holy as Christ is holy, those are huge standards and all to often, we don’t live by them, and we mess up, a lot.
 

But what I love about God, and the Holy Spirit, is that there is mercy and grace. and the Holy Spirit just picks us right back up, and enables us to live a holy life and reminds us of all we need to be reminded of, when we are willing.
