David Jeremiah Devotional 23rd April, 2019
Theme For David Jeremiah Devotional 23rd April – ARE YOUR POTS HOLY?
Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness to the Lord of hosts.
Zechariah 14:21
Recommended Reading: 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13
Even the most basic duties of life—like cooking a meal or washing the dishes—should be an act of holiness, for our entire lives are to be characterized by purity, reverence, service, and a desire to glorify God in all we do. How can we cultivate such a holy lifestyle?
Nothing will bring holiness to our lives like studying God’s Word. Psalm 119, the longest chapter of the Bible, reveals the change that comes over diligent Bible students. According to this chapter, when we devote ourselves to the daily study, memorization, meditation, and obedience of Scripture, we learn how to cleanse our way (verse 9); we avoid sinning against God (verse 11); we are inwardly revived and strengthened (verses 25, 28); our hearts are enlarged (verse 32); our eyes turn away from worthless things (verse 37); and we are comforted in affliction (verse 50).
Nothing can compare to the habit of meeting with God over His Word each day. All it takes is a Bible and a dedicated time (and maybe a pen and notebook). Don’t miss this blessing!
You and I can walk in obedience to God’s Word and live a life of holiness. – Jerry Bridges, in The Pursuit of Holiness
