Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

Consecrated as holy and that which is not the holy and the common.

When I read that phrase, I think about my life, your life in this world.

We have been consecrated to God, all who trust in Jesus, set apart as holy.

And yet we are surrounded by so much in a world that is not that would be labeled common.

And isn't this the call of God in our lives today to be holy amidst the common,

to not be transformed, to not be conformed to the pattern of this world around us,

but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds to live different, to live separate.

That doesn't mean we withdraw from the world.

Obviously that's not what Jesus called us to do.

Go and make disciples of the nations, go into the world and share my love with the world

and show the world what it means to have eternal life in me.

But don't become like the world in the process.

Don't sacrifice the holy for the common.

Oh, to see your life today.

Like children, kids, students who are listening to this as you go to school,

as you interact with others on social media or friends, like be holy, live holy,

speak in ways that are holy, meaning you're set apart for the purposes of God.

Don't think like the world thinks, don't speak like the world speaks,

don't live like the world lives.

And for college students for young adults, don't live like every other college student.

Young adult is living, you're created to live different, holy, pure.
