2 Chronicles 28-30, Psalms 108
What God said to me – I have called My people to be separate from the world however that does not mean that you isolate yourself from society. You must be holy because “I AM” holy. Your lifestyle should be markedly different from that of the world – the things you watch or read or say or do should distinguish you. It is never easy to be labeled as “different” and as the world becomes more and more perverse that difference will be more and more distinct. Look at Ahaz and Hezekiah – both were kings of Judah. One did what was right in My sight and one did not. Ahaz succumbed to the idolatry of the world around him, but Hezekiah rejected it, cleansed My temple, and led My people back to Me. Never underestimate the power that being “different” for Me can have in ministering and witnessing to those around you.
