On this #FarmSunday, let’s turn our attention to 1 Peter 1:13-16, where we find a call to action that resonates deeply with the life of faith we are striving to lead.
Peter starts with a rallying cry: “Roll up your sleeves, get your head in the game.” This isn’t just about physical readiness but a mental and spiritual preparation for the journey ahead. It’s a reminder that our faith requires us to be active participants, ready to embrace the fullness of grace that awaits us.
He then warns us against falling back into old patterns, “Don’t go back to doing things the way you used to.” This is a reminder for all of us. It’s easy to slip into familiar habits that don’t align with our growth. But we’re called to more than that—to a transformation that reflects the new life we’ve found in our faith in Jesus.
Peter encourages us to embrace a new way of life, “Let yourself get pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life.” This is about allowing God to lead, to shape our paths and decisions, ensuring that our lives reflect His holiness and love. It’s a journey of becoming more like Him in every aspect of our lives.
To live a life set apart, different from the worldly pattern—-a holy life, is to recognize that every moment, every decision, is an opportunity to reflect upon m Christ. It’s a call to live not just for ourselves but in a way that brings light and hope to those around us.
So, on this #FarmSunday, let us commit to this journey of preparation, transformation, and holiness. Let us be mindful of the grace that has been offered to us and live in a way that honors that gift.
