Be a saint

1 March 2012     
                                         
1 Corinthians 1:2 to the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called out with all those in every place who call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.

Today is St David’s day, the patron saint of Wales. So today the Welsh will wear yellow or a daffodil to commemorate this day, this not only tells people who are welsh, but also tells people that they are Christian. In the same way on 17 March it is St Patricks Day and all the Irish wear green. So as a saint in the making, what will you wear on your birthday and how will you celebrate it and so bring joy to others?

So often we miss the opportunity to have fun and be different, yet it is in doing so that we make sweet memories. It is these memories that help us when days are dark and laughter is scarce, that is why we are always called in the Bible to remember. In being reminded of the blessings, that we give thanks and when we have given thanks we are able to praise God. So be courageous and step out in faith, filled with joy and confidence that good memories come from our good God.

Be encouraged today to celebrate the sanctification that Jesus has begun in you.
 
David

Point to ponder: We are sanctified in Christ.

Question to consider: Do you realise that you are a saint in the making?
