Holy is as much in the little, ordinary things as the big, grandiose ones. Holy is as much doing the natural part as the spiritual. It's both. We cannot separate the two in living out our faith.
Scripture says faith without works is dead (James 2:17). What does that mean? I think it means putting tangible action behind our words and beliefs. It means giving faith our eyes, ears, voices, hearts, hands, feet, trust, time, money, energy, and attention.
Holy is serving people as much as serving Christ. In doing one; are we not doing the other?
I know we mostly associate holy with purity and righteousness, and this is true. However, it's not in the context of keeping or adhering to rules and regulations. Rather holy is being dedicated to God and this happens through a relationship with Jesus.
We are holy in our union with Christ.
We participate in holy living through spiritual intimacy with Jesus, which naturally flows out into our daily lives. We find holy in our genuine, intimate, transparent, ongoing communion with Him. But I believe we also find holy in our communion with each other.
In this way, holy isn't religion; holy is relationship.
In this way, holy isn't a Sunday thing; holy is a heart thing.
And the older I get, the more clearly I see through this lens.
Jesus, please help us be holy as you are holy.
Help us honor you and honor others.
Help us live holy everyday lives.
