God
sees us as we really are. He 'looks on the heart' as well as 'the
outward appearance'. We must live to please Him, praying, 'Search me, O
God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be
any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!' (14; 1
Samuel 16:7; Psalm 139: 23-24). God calls us to be holy: 'you shall keep
yourself from every evil thing' (9). This 'holiness' is not to be a
proud, arrogant thing. It is to be filled with compassionate caring.
Don't write anyone off, saying, 'They're not our kind of people' (7).
Don't be all out for all you can get for yourself without any thought of
how your actions affect other people (24-25). Let your holiness be
real. Don't say one thing and do another. Don't pretend to be more
'holy' than you really are. Choose to be holy - every day (21-23).
