Called to Purity
Friday, October 17, 2026
Good morning, Lord
Father in Heaven, open my heart and mind, Holy Spirit. Fill my consciousness and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…
Memory verse: 1 John 1:8–9
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
Verse of the day: “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
Today’s reading: Isaiah 50-52 1 Thessalonians 5
Called To Purity
1 Thessalonians 4:7 “For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.”
God has called us to pure Holiness. Now, before any of you turn this off this morning, we have to know that God knows how weak we can be and how some of us will view 'pure holiness'. But--we can know divine purity in our lives. Many call this sanctification and what that big word means is our seeking God and being purified by Him a step at a time. This means we must look in the mirror, deep into our own eyes, and compare our lives to God's purity we experience in Holy scripture.
How?
God's word and Prayer: 1 Timothy 4:4
“For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected, 5because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6 By pointing out these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus”,
Meditation: Psalm 1:2 “but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.”
The learning of self-control along with the rest of the fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23)
By learning that we cannot be pure by grieving The Holy Spirit: Ephesians 4:30 ►”And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”
How can we know how much God loves us without living a life of seeking Him and His righteousness? By being faithful. Matthew 24, Jesus asks: 45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant…"
Tell God you want to be His faithful and wise servant.
...because He loves us, He will do it...
Father in Heaven,
Oh God, forgive me for grieving You. Fill my heart with Your zeal to be found faithful.
Constant and all-loving Father and God.
In the name of Christ Jesus,
Amen
