A repeated phrase in the law is, “I am the LORD, and I make you Holy.”  We don’t attain holiness by our merits nor our achievements.  It can only be imparted to us by the Lord.

You are not holy because you abstain from moral impurity … you abstain from moral impurity because you are holy.

David said, “Blessed is the one whom you choose, and cause to come near, that he may live in your courts.”  [Ps. 65:4a, WEB]

DAILY PRAYER:  Father in Heaven, draw me close to You. Never let me go my own way.  I hereby commit my ways to You and Your standards of holiness.

DAILY READING: Lev. 21-23
