Daily D – Leviticus 19:2

by David Bowman | Feb 5, 2024 | Daily D | 0 comments

Leviticus 19:2 “Speak to the entire Israelite community and tell them: Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.“ (CSB)

There’s more to this verse than we can mine in these moments. What bare truths can we take with us into this day?

God wants our character to be shaped by his character.

God wants his values to be our values.

God wants us to do what he would do if he were us.

These are ongoing, evergreen issues. Each of us has room to grow in each of these areas.

Invite God to shape your character. He will ennoble you.

Invite God to implant his values in you. He will direct your decisions.

Invite God to express himself through you. He will direct your hands, heart, and head.

Leaning into God’s holiness refines us into the persons he always intended us to be. Holiness is the true path for the truly good life.

—

I will invite God to make me holier day by day.

—

Our Father, shape my character. Reshape my values. Demonstrate your goodness to those I encounter where I live, work, and play. Amen.

or take part in acts of wickedness.
Don’t let me share in the delicacies
of those who do wrong.”

And I will give them one heart and one purpose: to worship me forever, for their own good and for the good of all their descendants. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good for them. I will put a desire in their hearts to worship me, and they will never leave me. I will find joy doing good for them and will faithfully and wholeheartedly replant them in this land.”

Psalm 138:1-3

As soon as I pray, you answer me;
you encourage me by giving me strength.”
