A Holy people unto The Lord, (I Chr 16:29)

Peculiar, you could say, (Deut 14:2)

His laws within their heart, (Deut. 11:18)

They walk in all His ways, (Deut 5:33)

Resisting the devil, (James 4:7)

While drawing nigh unto Him, (James 4:8)

Desiring to be His express image,

No longer a servant to sin (Romans 6:17)

"Be ye perfect," (Matt 5:48)

Jesus said on the mount,

As your Father in heaven is perfect,

Leaving no room for any doubt,

David's  heart was perfect, (I Kings 11:4)

Desiring all God's holy ways,

Striving to live in mercy

And love in all his days

"Nobody's perfect"

The world will always say,

If that is your hope, ( Hebrews 11:1)

Perfection you'll not obtain

Striving for imperfection??

An achievement you can surely make,

God wants our goals set higher,

Our whole life perfection takes.

I Chr 16:29

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name : bring an offering , and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness .

Submit yourselves therefore to God . Resist the devil , and he will flee from you .  

Draw nigh to God , and he will draw nigh to you . Cleanse your hands , ye sinners ; and purify your hearts , ye double minded .

But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Be ye therefore perfect , even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect

For it came to pass, when Solomon was old , that his wives turned away his heart after other gods : and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God , as was the heart of David his father .
