New Wineskins: Embracing God's Best for You in Your New YearSample

Day 8: Pursuing Holiness
Scripture: 1 Peter 1:15-16
"But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
In our quest to embrace God's best for the new year, we delve into the sacred call to pursue holiness. In 1 Peter 1:15-16, we are reminded that God, who is inherently holy, calls us to a life of sanctity. Today, take a moment to reflect on the concept of holiness and how it aligns with the path to God's best.
Holiness is more than just living a moral life; it is about being set apart for God's purposes and conforming our character to His. In prayer, earnestly consider those areas in your life where you need to align more closely with His holiness.
What thoughts, actions, or habits require transformation?
Seek the Lord's guidance to illuminate these areas and grant you the strength and wisdom to walk a holier path.
Pray that God helps you embrace the pursuit of holiness, to be set apart for His divine purposes in this new year. Remember, it is through holiness that you draw nearer to God and, in turn, find His best for your life.
Prayer:
Lord, I come before You with a heart that longs to pursue holiness. As I reflect on Your call to be holy as You are holy, I acknowledge that I fall short. Please help me, Lord, to align my life more closely with Your holiness. Illuminate the areas in which I need transformation and grant me the strength and wisdom to overcome them. As I pursue holiness, may I be set apart for Your divine purposes in this new year. Use me, Lord, to reflect Your holiness and draw closer to Your best for my life. Amen.
