Santify the Lord in your hearts...!

1 Peter 3:15-17 NKJV

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it  is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

† Shalom †......! Day #175. Do you know that you must be ready in and out of season to testify the faith you have in the Lord Jesus Christ? Let us pray. Father, give us the words to speak when we asked to to give an account of our faith in You. Let Your Holy Spirit guide us from the beginning to end. Thank You Lord. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, have you sanctified the Lord in your hearts today?  To sanctify means to establish Christ in your heart as your Lord and Savior,  to revere and respect Christ Jesus who is the Lord of your life. Peter is asking us to give God the due respect and glory and acknowledging that He is the Master and we are His slaves. If you diligently study the character of Jesus while He was with the disciples, He is ever ready to answer every question people ask Him. Likewise,  when you have the Lord in You, it is no longer you who speaks, but the Spirit of God who speaks through you and gives bold testimonies about God.  Do it with all humbleness and meekness and not with pride and arrogance.

Be ready in season or out of season to give an account of the Lord, to testify the faith you have in Him to all so that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it  is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. Amen...!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
