Daily Bible Reading: Exodus 29, 30, 31; Psalm 27, 57, 87, 117, 147; Proverbs 27

“And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest’s office.” Exodus 29:44

There seems to be something taboo about sanctification. People seem to run from the concept of sanctification. It seems to have some negative connotation. This should not be so. Sanctification is something that every child of God should embrace. I know people who have automobiles that only see the light on clear, sunny summer days. These automobiles are set apart for such days. You know the automobiles I am talking about. They are special and sometimes vintage automobiles. They are sometimes an investment, but more often they are for pleasure.
Have you ever thought about yourself like one of those special automobiles? You are. With the Holy Spirit filling you, you are a powerful possession of God the Father. Just like a special automobile that is reserved for special purpose. We are created to worship and fellowship with God.
God wants to set each of us apart for Himself, but it is up to us to submit to that. To be sanctified is to be separated from sin to God. We seem to be so in love with sin that we no longer care about being sanctified, or set apart for God. This is a shame and a black eye on the Christian community. One thing lost people know about Christians is that, “We don’t spit and we don’t chew and we don’t run with those that do.” We need to get back to old fashioned, sanctified Christianity. How about it Christian?
