— 1 Thessalonians 4:3
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
Sanctified surely does sound “churchy,” doesn’t it? It means to be special, reserved for God’s use and glory, and not common. We are to be an uncommon people! This is especially true in steering clear of sexual immorality. We’re to stay far away from it, honoring God with our bodies (cf. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20) while celebrating God’s plan for joyful sexual fulfillment in marriage (Proverbs 5; 1 Corinthians 7:1-7).
My Prayer…
Father God, please protect and empower me as I seek to resist sexual temptation in my sexually charged culture. I want to offer myself to you as a holy sacrifice, pleasing to you and a blessing to your people. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
