Bible verses about living different than the world

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-12-26

by

Proverbs 8:34 (NKJV) 34 Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.

Whose gates and doors are we spending all our time at?

We choose the gate and we choose the doors. It’s up to us whether we listen for God’s wisdom or chase after the ways of the world.

Chasing after worldly success will take up a lot of our time, mentally, and physically. It can be very stressful, and we can lose sight of God completely if we’re not careful.

But being in God’s word, listening, watching, paying attention, and taking it to heart, will give us a soundness of mind.

There are blessings and joy when we actively seek God’s wisdom. His word will bring rest to our weary soul. And it will guide us beside still waters.

Psalm 23:2 (NKJV) 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.

What will we chase after today?

Will we go after God’s wisdom? Or will we take the road of worldly success?

We have control of the wheel. At any time we can change the course of our direction.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-11-22

by

2 Corinthians 6:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.”

As followers of Christ, children of God, we have been called to “come out from among them”, and to separate ourselves from the world.

There is a natural, literal side to this, and a spiritual, symbolic side as well.

We are not being called to literally live apart, separate, from the rest of the world. If we were to do that, we would never be able to show them God’s love, mercy and grace, drawing them to Him.

We are, however, supposed to separate ourselves from the world when it comes to our actions; our behavior!

If we claim to follow Christ, but we live, act and talk like the rest of the world, then how different are we really?

You see, we are called to stand out, be different than those around us.

This is not a call to speak “Christianese” and quote scripture to everyone we meet or encounter.

It is a call to follow and live by the word of God, allowing Him to mold us and shape us into who He wants us to be. And by doing so, He will make us unique, different than others in so many ways.

Our job as children of God is not to try to be different and to stand out.

It is, instead, to let Him make us who He has destined us to be. It is in that where we will find our true identity and our “uniqueness” in Christ.

And it is in that where we will be a shining light, an example to those around us, walking out our faith in a way that draws people to God by His grace, mercy and love being lived out in us every day.

Come out from among them and be separate.
