Holy, Holy,Holy🎼

But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct. 1 Peter 1:15

I love the old hymn ‘Holy,Holy,Holy’ and I love to sing it. What does it mean to be Holy? The definition is dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose; sacred: 

Several years ago I used to always flippantly say ‘Holy Cow’ Or ‘Holy Moley’ until a sweet prayer sister who was on a car journey with me to a retreat could take it no more and had the courage to say “Hey Becky only God is Holy” and from that day forward I try to not say it. 

It is a cutesy thing for some such as a business near me called ‘Holy Cow’. It isn’t necessarily taking the Lord’s name in vain like when you use ‘God’ in a disrespectful way. But maybe this writing will bring conviction on you as well.  I will save that for another devotion. Not meaning to be legalistic but to make you think. 

PRAYER: Oh Lord help me be Holy as you are Holy and to grasp what that really means. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
