VERSE:
    Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify
ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit,
perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
     -- 2 Corinthians 7:1

THOUGHT:
    God has blessed us with so many wonderful promises. He has
secured them through the sending of his Son "to conquer death and
bring life and immortality to life." He will "transform our lowly
bodies to be like his glorious body." He will take us home to be
with him eternally, but until that day, he will live inside us and
reveal himself to us. He will make us more than conquerors and will
not allow anything to separate us from his love. So what should our
response be? Yes, surely we should offer him praise. But, we must
not limit our praise to words. God wants our lives to be pure,
staying away from what is evil, vile, putrid, and corrupt. He wants
us to do this, not so we can claim some moral superiority, but so
that we can show him our adoration and reverence. In our desire to
offer God praise, let's not forget that one of the greatest ways to
praise him is to seek him in purity and holiness!

PRAYER:
    Forgive me, Heavenly Father, for my sins. Purify my heart and
cast out any foothold the devil may have in me because of my sin.
Empower me to holiness and accept my life as an offering of praise
and thanks to you. In the name of Jesus, I offer you my heart, my
life, and my all. Amen.
