Listening & Learning — A Devotional

1 Peter 1:15

BEHAVIOR

1st Peter 1:15. “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;”

BEHAVIOR. New watching eyes follow facial features – impressions Little hands and feet learning what to do and where to go – imitations Life-style is formed by following the model – facsimile Things learned in early life follow us – eternally.

Learning days are past and other watching eyes are on me – evaluating Behavior in young days can ruin a whole life – hesitating And opportunities that come only once are lost – procrastinating A life that had great potential is in danger of being – humiliating.

God calls us to behave in ways that are – holy Wanting us to effectively live our lives for Him – solely He called us to be separate from sin living – uniquely From our hearts to consider what pleases our Lord – completely.

It is not just a suggestion to live a holy life – daily It is a command that appropriate behavior be lived – visibly God has called us to be adopted as children in His – family And what we learn and are now will characterize us – eternally.

“Being Thy child Father, is a wonderful privilege. Living in a way that honors Thee is my desire daily. I pray that I live in a way behaviorally that will represent Thy family in a good way. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
