‘Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.

Leviticus 19:2

I thought I would throw in a Leviticus memory verse. It wasn’t easy to find. But then it was.

At the heart of the book of Leviticus is the concept of God’s holiness. God’s holiness is a word/concept that captures his love, his justice, his goodness/righteousness and most of all, his otherness.

God’s call to his people is to be holy like he is holy. That’s not a command to be God. But rather to reflect all of God’s attributes humanly. We are to be just, loving, good and righteous. We are to love differently to the people around us.

Now, we know that we aren’t these things. But Leviticus reminds us of what we were meant to be. And what we are to strive to be.

Tips:

• Say the passage out loud 10 times in a row.
• Say it once before you go to sleep.
• Say it once more when you wake up.

Pray:

• Praise the Father that he is holy.
• Give thanks for Jesus Christ who was the holy man of God.
• Ask God for His Holy Spirit to help you and others be holy like he is holy.
