Holiness

My SOAP scripture today says - I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and he holy, because I am holy.

So in today's world how does this work? What is holiness?

It is so easy to get sucked into the world's way of thinking; to slowly compromise our standards; to not stand up for what God says. As the song says - It's a slow fade.

My office is in a great location, I can hear lots of what is going on and never leave my desk. This morning, some of the girls were talking about some television show and what they were describing nauseated me. How did it get on tv? Instead of not watching much television, should I be protesting what is on?

Yet, as I strive to live a holy life there are many times I just feel out of place, I don't fit in. Is that being holy or am I just odd?

All I know is God is holy and I want to be like Him. So if I don't fit into the world - so be it.
