Wig’s Word of God Today 5-29-2012
As obedient children, be yourselves holy in all your activity, after the model of the Holy One who calls us, since Scripture says, ‘Be holy, for I am Holy. 1st Peter 1:15-16
Many who are first will be last, and the last, first. Mark 10:31
First Peter 1:10-16, Psalm 98 & Mark 10:28-31
It’s hard not to be obedient when you study the Bible every day looking for God’s Word to direct your every step- your every thought to accomplish His Will. I agree we are all sinners but I also agree that the LORD’s Word directs us to be Holy as stated in 1 Peter 1:15-16. “As obedient children, be yourselves holy in all your activity, after the model of the Holy One who calls us, since Scripture says, ‘Be holy, for I am Holy.”
I can recall with vivid memories of embarrassment of not seeking the LORD’s Will but looking to accomplish what my selfish pleasures of sin would induce me to achieve. When I learned how to be obedient, I learned to live in God’s grace every step of the way and I look to share His Grace with anyone, anytime and anywhere. My stance on the issues have swung to Biblical understandings where I seek not to “vote” or “align” with anyone who does not follow the Word of God to the letter. If you have any questions, read your Bible and let God direct your allegiance to His Truth. Amen.
Some 20 years ago, I began the process of becoming Baptized entering the joys of knowing God in my life as I worked to overcome the struggles of everyday sin. While I didn’t surrender completely that day, I did encounter the first will be last statement often as I approached the Baptismal waters for people kept saying “many who are first will be last, and the last, first” because I was the last in line to become Baptized. From that day on, it has never bothered me that I was last in anything for I knew God would instill the right to be first by my commitment to His Word.
Dear God, we pray to always be obedient to Your Word. We pray to live in a state of holiness for Your Purpose. We pray for strength to accomplish Your Will in all we do. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed“
Be holy for I am Holy and kind- First Peter 1:10-16
Your Salvation is near
Prophets attested so dear
To the sufferings of Christ to seer
His Glory accomplished so clear
They served not themselves to gloat
They preached the Good News to doat
The Holy Spirit kept them afloat
The things angels longed to look at He spoke
Gird your loins of your mind
Live soberly to find the time
The revelation of Jesus to find
Be holy for I am Holy and kind
