Who wants to answer the Call to Holiness?

Joshua 3:5
⁵ Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.”

Leviticus 20:7-8
⁷ “‘Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God. ⁸ Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the Lord, who makes you holy.

There is a clear call to be Holy. Joshua tells the people to consecrete themselves, just before they are about to enter the promised land. And we can also see a call to be holy, in Leviticus 20:7-8. There are many other references, with a similar call.

But do we find the call to be holy, a bit tiresome, at times?
It is a call that appears to go on endlessly, until we reach our final destination. It’s a call of continuous improvement. One of the technical words for this is “Sanctification”.

If we are honest with ourselves, in our moments of weakness, can we all suffer with feeling a bit tired of this process?

Galatians 6:7-9
⁷ Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. ⁸ Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. ⁹ Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

From the above verses, we can see a warning to not become weary in doing good. Could this in part be because God knows that we can get tired, whilst trying to do, what we should be doing?

From reading the above verse, another question has come to my mind (in a roundabout way). Whose strength are you relying on for doing the good that you are trying to do?

Human strength (the flesh), or a greater strength (the spirit)?

If we are becoming weary, then is it because we are running out of our own strength?
Are we able to call on a source of strength that has no limits?
Our Lord God’s strength?
Will we seek Him and His strength, so that we can then go beyond our own limits?

Our Lord God, is the source of all good things!
He has unlimited strength, to help those who will look to Him, for their help.

Psalm 121:1-3
¹ I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?
² My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.

³ He will not let your foot slip—
    he who watches over you will not slumber

It is indeed good to follow a call to holiness, if it is from Our Lord God. But, I do think that a word of warning also needs to be spoken (or written) here.
What if the call is not coming from a Our Lord God, but a different source? An enemy, even?

1 Peter 5:8
⁸ Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Could the enemy try to bring a call to holiness, that is too much for us, with the intention of causing us to crumble under the pressure?

The source of a call matters. Is the call we are hearing, a word of rebuke or a word of condemnation?
A word of condemnation has the purpose to pull down and destroy. But a word of rebuke, if followed, leads to holiness.
If a word of condemnation comes our way, then do we need to dismiss it? Or could we even turn it around, so that it is used as a word of rebuke?
That which the enemy brought for bad, can be turned to good. (If Our Lord God says to consider it.)

Will we hear Our Lord God’s call to Holiness, and will we then follow it?
