Sanctified

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

This is a verse that I have known for a long time. I actually used it for when I got baptized. I read it again today and the word sanctified stuck out to me. Sanctified means to be set apart for a sacred purpose. Right now in my life I am longing to be sanctified and I want to be kept blameless. It almost sounds impossible to be kept blameless because we live in a world full of sin. Satan will battle for a place in our lives... and he knows exactly what makes us weak. Whether it be gossip, temptation, greed, anger and so on he knows how to deceive us and when to do it. For me the best way to fight the enemy is by staying in the word and prayer. The word is the best weapon we can use against the enemy. I have to concentrate every minute of the day and make sure that I am obeying God with what I do and say. I am at fault and will admit that I am not on the right track. I haven't been giving God every aspect of my life. I know that I will never be perfect but I must focus on God. I want to end with some scripture that just came to my mind. It is Psalm 19:14. What are your thoughts on this scripture? Feel free to comment.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you. O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14
