(S)cripture-
2 Cor 7:1 Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
(O)bservation-
God has given us the ultimate promise through the blood of Christ that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. If we really think about this we realize how awesome it truly is. Accordingly, we should purge sin from our lives and be totally consecrated and dedicated to Him. Being holy before the Lord also means that we are separating ourselves from the commonplace.
(A)pplication-
I want to remove things in my life that are sinful or could become sinful and to be careful not to put myself in places or situations in which it would be difficult to resist the temptation to sin. By being with other believers we can all help each other with this as well as develop and maintain accountability before the Lord. I want to perfect my holiness by being totally committed and consecrated to Him in all that I do - every area of my life.
(P)rayer-
Father, I am Yours. All that I have and who I am I give to You as an offering. Please use me to do Your will and guide me through Your Spirit in helping me to remove things that could contaminate my body or spirit so that I can be holy before You. Thank You for Your Son Jesus and Your great promise of eternal life through Him. I love and praise You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
