Before I formed you in the womb I
knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to
the nations - Jeremiah 1:5.
We are set apart by God
for His special purpose even before we were born. God calls us to be set apart
from the world and to be holy. But as He who called you is holy, you also be
holy in all your conduct - 1 Peter 1:15. Our attitudes, thoughts and actions
should always please God as we are set apart for Him. But know that the Lord
has set apart for Himself him who is godly - Psalm 4:3.
We are set apart to live a life that is different
from the world. Though we are in this world, we are not of the world. They are
not of the world, just as I am not of the world - John 17:16. Let us not love
the world or the things in the world as we are not of the world. Do not love
the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of
the Father is not in him - 1 John 2:15. He who loves his life will lose it, and
he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life - John 12:25.
We are chosen and set apart by
God to be His people. For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the
Lord has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all
the peoples who are on the face of the earth - Deuteronomy 14:2. We are set
apart by God to proclaim His gospel. But you are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the
praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light - 1 Peter
2:9. We are set apart for the glory of our great God.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for
setting us apart to fulfill Your purpose. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
