So excited to share our She Reads Truth Bible Study with you today. We are studying 1 Peter and if you have never been introduced to SRT this is a great time to start! It is a wonderful interactive community where you can hook up through You Version on your iPhone or iPad or just on the computer if you like. You read the scriptures for the day then you join the link and read the short Bible lesson.

Then if you want to you can read the comments by other people that have joined in and given their thoughts on the lesson for the day, all throughout the day! Even better, YOU can participate and give YOUR take on the scripture IF you want to, you are not required, you can be just a fly on the wall if you like!

SRT has grown to thousands and thousands of people around the globe participating together to study God’s Word! Check it out! 1 Peter | Day 3 | Called to be Holy.

My thoughts on striving for perfection and being holy,”We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise….But, let the one who boasts boast in the Lord. For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.” 2 Corinthians 10:12, 17, 18

I always heard growing up from my wise pastor that if we had reached perfection….we would not be here! I think only a few had attained that like Enoch, “…and Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.” Genesis 5:24.

And of course the prophet Elijah who was carried away in a whirlwind…”As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.” 2 Kings 2:11.

So we are STRIVING for perfection, “But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.” (1 John 2:5,6 NLT)

We will not attain it in this life! Our goal is to be Christ-like in our actions so the world will see Jesus in us! Sme people will never enter the doors of a church building! We may be the only witness they ever see…and believe for sure they are watching us!

We will fall, we will fail, as Sarah wrote so beautifully but “when I fall I shall arise!”

Get up, dust yourself off and get back to work, there are fish to catch!

Be blessed!
