Set Apart!

7-15-2009. . . .Set Apart!

“Mark this well: The Lord has set apart the redeemed for himself. Therefore he will listen to me and answer when I call to him. Stand before the Lord in awe, and do not sin against him. Lie quietly upon your bed in silent meditation. Put your trust in the Lord, and offer him pleasing sacrifices.” (Ps 4:3-5 TLB) That’s you and me! SPECIAL! So special that God first went to great lengths to redeem us and after having done so through the shed blood of His only begotten Son, He has 'set us apart' for Himself. “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: (1 Peter 2:9 KJV) Today, shine forth! Let everyone around you see and know you are special because you’ve been set apart for God himself! His plan. . . .His purpose. . . .His perfect will!

Prayer: Thank you Father for redeeming me and setting me apart for yourself. Take now my life and let it be a light that leads others to you. Amen!

Ps 107:2-6. . . . Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. KJV
