David slips in his relationship with God
When our relationship with God slips, holiness always decreases.He was more concerned with the outward presentation, neglecting the inward truth.“How much more today will their vessels be holy?”Holiness is to be ‘set apart’.Holiness is about the inward, not merely the outward.Are we set apart from the world we live in?Peter 1:15, “As he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.”SUBSTITUTION: FEAR OF GOD FOR FEAR OF MAN
Have we substituted holy living towards God for other things?When we substitute a relationship with God through holy living, our hearts harden towards him.Don’t substitute God for anything. He is enough!David rediscovers relationship with God… Will you?Today let us repent of our mistrust of GodLet us repent of self-sufficiencyThe Holy Spirit wants to empower us to live holy livesThere is no substitute for the Holy Spirit
