Day 1 – Read 1 Peter 1:16
Holiness means you are perfect, without any flaws. It is also something that is different from anything or anyone else. Today, think about how God is perfect. How is God different from anyone else?
Day 2 – Read 1 Peter 1:16
Write this verse out.
Memorize this verse today.
Day 3God is the only One who is perfect, but He asks you to be holy like Him. To be like Him, you have to be different and stand out. How can you be different from who the world wants you to be in these situations?
How can you be different when someone is mean to you?
How can you be different in how you treat your parents?
How can you be different when you don’t get what you want?
How can you be different in how you use your words?
I PROMISE YOUGod knows it is hard to stand out in this world. He knows you will be tempted to do things the worlds way. He promises is in 1 Corinthians 10:6-13 that He will not allow you to have a temptation that you cannot handle. He will also give you all the help you need to do what is right.
Day 4It’s not easy being different in this world. It is easier to blend in and do what everyone else is doing, but God asks you to stand out. At Kanakuk, some Kampers get to go caving. You walk through a cave that has no sunlight at all. When you get to the back of the cave, if you turn your light out, you cannot see a thing because there is no source of light. The counselors press the button for their watch light to come on, and the tiny little light stands out in a big way. The crazy thing is that a watch light is so little. In the daylight you can’t even see it, but in the darkness it stands out and is bright enough to lead you out of the cave. The world can be a dark place, but if you live your life to be like Christ, who is holy, then you will be a light for the whole world to see.
Day 5
A few days ago, you were asked to think of how to be different. Make a commitment today to DO those things. Tell someone how you want to be like Christ and ask them to help you do it.
