Summary
In today’s devotional, we’re going to explore the concept of sanctification in the Holy Spirit. Every day, every moment, God is working to mold us into his likeness. We were made in his image. And the Holy Spirit is so insightful, so good at molding us and correcting us. There is so much peace in store for us if we’ll allow God to take away anything in our life that is holding us back from what we were originally created for: to live free from sin, free from shame, free from the weight of the world, and holy and righteous in him. May you be encouraged as we open our hearts and seek sanctification in the Holy Spirit today.
Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Peter 1:2, and today's worship is New by Craig and Rachel Denison.
________
Do you ever feel like life just happens to you?
Instead of choosing the things that fill your day, does life always somehow sweep you up into its endless flow of expectations and obligations?
If so, there’s a better way! It’s called a Rule of Life, and Craig Denison has written a new book about creating your own Rule of Life called Living Intentionally. We’d love to put a copy in your hands to say thanks for your donation to help more people experience God the first 15 minutes of their day.
