Today’s Podcast
- Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
- Topic Introduction with headline.
- Scripture
- Exodus 31:13
- Eternal One: Speak to the Israelites and tell them, “You must be careful to observe My Sabbaths. For the Sabbath Day serves as a sign between Me and you for all generations, so that you will know I am the Eternal One who has set you apart from all the other nations.
- Devotional
- Jehovah-Maccadeshem, the Lord who makes you holy
- The King James translates this name, the Lord, who sanctifies [sanctifieth] you.
- NIV and several more modern translations, the Lord, who makes you holy.
- Easy to Read version, says, the Lord, who makes you his special people.
- We just read from The Voice, the Eternal One who has set you apart.
- All have the same meaning, sanctify, set apart for sacred use, special people, holy, separate.
- The God we serve sets apart from the world
- He makes us different, special, sacred for His use
- He sets apart for His special use
- Today, everyone wants to be unique
- It’s interesting because everyone who seems to want to be unique looks and acts just alike in the world
- Hippie movement, Gothic look, whatever fashion the world thinks sets you apart all look and act alike in their attempt to be special
- Doesn’t bring happiness because those attempts to form into what the world wants doesn’t satisfy, doesn’t fit the purpose for which we are individually created
- Set apart for God’s purpose
- God gives unique skills, talents especially designed for the purpose He has for you
- Created you to fulfill a specific purpose within the scope of His will
- His will, that all will come to know Him as their personal Lord and Savior
- Uses people to carry out His will and fulfill His ultimate purpose
- Sets us apart to accomplish that mission
- Does He need us? No. Will He use us? Yes, if we let Him.
- Jehovah – Maccaddeshem, the Lord who sanctifies you, who makes you holy, who sets you apart from the world. He is the God we serve.
- Jehovah-Maccadeshem, the Lord who makes you holy
