The Light Daily Devotional – Strictness is not Holiness
Focus: Strictness is not Holiness
WORD FOR TODAY
All men who truly love and serve the Lord are simple. The simplicity of heart is the hallmark of all men who truly belong to God!
Scriptural Reference
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8 NKJV)
There are several men in the name of being holy who chose to be very strict thereby depriving men of the service expected of them to render in the name of God. Many failed to be a blessing to people because they claim to be living a consecrated life. How can you claim to be holy and find it difficult to help your fellow brethren?
What type of holiness does a man claim to have that makes his existence not beneficial to his parents, household, friends, employers, brethren, employees and coworkers? If the people that are so-called unbelievers are approachable for help, what do we call a man who claims to be a child of God who is difficult and unapproachable?
Jesus is simple. He is not a sinner but a friend of sinners. If the spirit that is in Christ is in you; definitely you will be simple, loving, caring, humble, and you will love mercy. To be holy means to do the will of God in being a blessing to your world.
+ Are you simple, humble, loving and approachable?
Lord! Help me to be simple, humble, loving and approachable in Jesus’ name. Amen!
Emphasis: Your principle is nothing if it is not helping you to do the will of God!
Have an Impressive Week Ahead!
