Deuteronomy 14-16
What God said to me – So many of the instructions I gave Israel were to show that they were a people separated from the world – a people I chose as My own. They were to act differently. They were to be different. The same is true for you. You are not to be or act as the world does. You are Mine. You are separate – holy to Me. You shouldn’t participate in their pagan or ungodly practices. It should be evident to all that you are Mine from the way you live each day. You don’t need to “preach” to them or condemn their lifestyle – just live yours to please Me. Be kind but don’t waver. Love, but don’t participate. They will see you are different. You have opportunities to share why that is – you can lift Me up so others will be drawn to Me.
