IS YOUR LIFE ONE OF DISCTINTION, OR ONE OF FLIES?
Look up Exodus 8:20-24 (go ahead and take the time… a “bible gateway” link is just on the left of the screen if your Bible isn’t handy….)
Going again through Exodus in my personal Bible reading, as I read this portion I heard the question, “Is your life one of distinction or one of flies?”
Moses again tells Pharaoh God’s command to let His people go so they can worship Him or there will be a plague of flies, but God promises that although the houses will be “full” of swarms flies, God said he would deal differently with the land of Goshen (where His people lived). God declared there will be no swarms of flies in the land of His people, WHY?, “so that you will know that I, the Lord, am in this land.” God said he would make distinction (or one translation was God would put a deliverance) between His people.
The purpose of a people who where delivered and distinctly different from the world swarming with flies, was in order to show the fly filled world that the Lord was there in the land.
We as believers have a God given deliverance and distinction, we must stand starkly different from the fly filled world as a proclimation to the world that the Lord is in the land, and that they too can choose to leave a world of flies for one that is uncongested and uncontaminated by the swarms.
In Hebrews 12:14 God’s Word says, “make every effort to … to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
We are called to live in a state of deliverance and distinction, SO LIVE HOLY TODAY.
IS YOUR LIFE ONE OF DISCTINTION, OR ONE OF FLIES?
Live holy, preach Jesus!
