But know that the Lord has set apart the godly man for Himself;
The Lord hears when I call to Him. Psalm 4:3
I was singing through this Psalm today. Yes, I like to make up tunes and sing them out loud when no one can hear. The idea that the Lord has set apart the godly man for Himself is a very fascinating idea. I know God doesn’t have favorites, because He doesn’t show favoritism. So how and why would He set apart someone. Hmmmm? Interestingly, I learned that sanctification and holiness are the idea of not only purity, but being ‘set apart for special use’. Perhaps that’s what God is doing with godly people. He is setting them apart for a special use. It gets me excited about being godly. Who knows what special use is around the corner?
How am I becoming more godly? Is the word of God an guide in my life? Am I more like Jesus than yesterday?
Lord Jesus, I want to be the guy You can count on. And I realize that my preparation is to be done in the area of godliness. I am grateful for the hunger You have placed in me for that purpose. Would you assist me in every way today. Thank you that tonight that godliness can be on display as I team up with hundreds of volunteers to love people in Your name.
