READ Ephesians 4
Christians are to live in righteousness and holiness, worthy of their calling in Christ.

INSIGHT
On the basis of who we are in Christ - redeemed, inheritors with Christ, adopted into God’s family, and destined to spend eternity with Him - we are to live a lifestyle that reflects our identity. We are no longer to live as we did before we knew the Lord - or as those who do not know Him. By putting on the “new man” we will preserve the unity of the Spirit and show the world that Christ is real. He makes a difference in the life that is dedicated to Him.

PRAYER
Praise the Lord that He is molding you into His image:
Hallelujah!  
Happy is the person who fears the Lord,
Taking great delight in his commands.  
His descendants will be powerful in the land;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.  
Wealth and riches are in his house,  
And his righteousness endures forever.  
Light shines in the darkness for the upright.  
He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous
(Psalm 112:1-4).

Pause for praise and thanksgiving. Now pray this confession to the Lord as you seek to keep your life free from sin:
I will pay attention to the way of integrity.
When will you come to me?
I will live with a heart of integrity in my house.  
I will not let anything worthless guide me.  
I hate the practice of transgression;
It will not cling to me.  
A devious heart will be far from me;
I will not be involved with evil
(Psalm 101:2-4).

Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind, and pray this affirmation to the Lord:
My soul, bless the Lord!
Lord my God, you are very great;
You are clothed with majesty and splendor.  
He wraps himself in light as if it were a robe,
Spreading out the sky like a canopy,
He established the earth on its foundations;
It will never be shaken (Psalm 104:1-2, 5).

As you make your requests known to the Lord, include:

• Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit
• Unsaved friends, family and co-workers

Finally, offer this prayer to the Lord:
Let whoever is wise pay attention to these things
And consider the Lord’s acts of faithful love
(Psalm 107:43).
