Romans 13;11-14
11. Besides this, you know what hour it is, how it is full time now for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now, than when we first believed;12.  the night is far gone, the day is at hand. Let us then cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light;13.  Let us conduct ourselves becomingly as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy.14.  But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify it desires.
Walking by the Spirit, means putting on your ‘good clothes.’
Each day is a preparation for Christ’s arrival.  How we live in Christ by the Holy Spirit (given to us in baptism), how we spend our time and resources, how we speak, how we deny ourselves out of love for our neighbor, how we live for the praise of God’s glory; becomes witness to the world that Christ Jesus is returning for Judgement.  
We are dressing ourselves with Him who is the Truth so that the darkness of this world may see the Light of the Gospel, the love of God at work in His Bride the Church and be saved.
Clothes do make the person.  Let us truly ‘dress for success.”  The life of holiness brings peace, joy, and fruitfulness.  This is why we were cleansed and given the Holy Spirit, so that we would “walk in newness of Life”.  (Romans 6;4)
Prayer:  Merciful Father, every day is a day of the Sabbath Rest in Christ.  Every day is holy to the Lord.Bless us to put on the righteousness of Christ, Your own loving holiness, that we be fruitful and faithful to our calling.  In Jesus we pray, Amen.
Question:  What does wearing sloppy clothes to Divine Service indicate?
Love,Dad/Baba/Eric/Grandpa Pickle Pastor“A chapter a day, every day, progressively, be transformed, ‘soak’ in the living Word.  God ‘s Word is our habitation, and we are His.”
