It is tough to know whether you are still at the center of God's will especially when you are busy and you got so many things in mind. Today, however, God reaffirmed that I am His child. He reminded me of the things which I need to do and it all starts with being "set apart".
Joshua 3:5 Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.
God is telling us to set apart. Prepare. Make way because greater things are yet to come.
Leviticus 10:10,11 We are reminded to distinguish between the holy and common, unclean and clean and we must teach others about God's statutes. Talk about a straightforward instructions. Discern what's right from wrong and teach God's Word.
Romans 12:1,2 My dad once preached this and I loved how he explained it. These verses were summarized into three points: Think differently. Live differently. Work differently. Got the difference? :)
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 God reminds us to be set apart because He will dwell among us. He will walk among us. People will know the difference because He will be our God and we'll be His people.
Colossians 3:1-14 God reminds us to set our minds on things above. It is all about Him. To be set apart, we must rid ourselves of earthly desires such as sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desires, and covetousness. We must put away anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk. Instead, we must clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness and patience. We are to bear with one another and we must forgive. Lastly, we must bind in love.
1 Peter 2:1-12 Put away malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander. Bear in mind that you are chosen so you may proclaim God's excellencies. Behave well in front of non-believers so when they speak against you as evildoers, they'll see your good deeds and glorify God
Since May, I have been questioning God of my position in life. I never ran out of Why's. I never ran out of things to be anxious about. Now, I quite understand what God demands of me. He wants my friendship and He wants me to be set apart. He wants me to work on those things which He commanded me to do before He shows me the great plans He has for me. I have to admit that I am excited for what is yet to come. If there's a shortcut to it, oh how I wish I could do so to level things up but yeah I understand that in life, there are no shortcuts at all. So while I try to figure out what God wants me to do now, I will enjoy every single moment of getting to know Him more and more each day. One thing is for sure, this time I'll make a distinction. I'll make sure that when people see me, they'll know that I'm DISTINCTLY GOD's CHILD. :)
