Lat time we talked about being “set apart” as the meaning of the word “holy.” As Brian Coulter says, “to be holy is to be set apart, but it is being set apart with a purpose. Simply being ‘set apart’ is not the same as being holy.”

We all set apart time in our days for a lot of tasks. We set apart time for taking care of regular chores, for reading email, for scanning blogs, etc. But, the call to be holy is the call to set ourselves apart for God’s use in the ordinary.

I am convinced that it is far easier to be holy in the special, but to be holy in the ordinary requires intentionality. “It is only when I deliberately set something apart with a holy intention for our holy God that it becomes holy.”

Make your prayer today to be set apart for His use in the ordinary. Make your prayer that you might do everything for the glory of God this day!
