A Godly Person Set Apart
Experiencing God Day by Day
No one is more precious in the Lord’s sight than a godly
person. God is pleased whenever He finds someone who
strives to live a righteous life and bring glory to Him.
God sets such people apart in a special place in His
heart. They are always kept before Him, and He stands
ready to respond to their faintest cries for help.
Sin separates us from God, causing Him to close His
ears to our praying. It is futile for us to pray when we
are knowingly practicing sin. But the opposite is also
true. God chooses to honor us by listening to our every
cry when we are living a godly life. An abiding security
comes with living a blameless life. The righteous person
never has to wonder whether God has listened to his
prayer (1 John 5:14-15). The godly person has
confidence that God has indeed heard her prayer and
will immediately respond in all of His power.
It is exhilarating to be set apart by God, knowing that
\God observes your consecrated life and is pleased with
what He sees. What a tremendous privilege to know
that your life holds a special place in God’s heart! The
world may not accord any special status to you, but you
will know that you are cherished by God. The world
continues to find new ways to honor people, but even
the world’s most extravagant accolades are pitiful
compared to the unfathomable blessing of holding a
special place in the heart of God!
