As for Me and My House – Day 13
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Have you ever had a special possession?
DAY 13: WE ARE HIS SPECIAL POSSESSION
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Have you ever had a special possession? A rare baseball card? A family heirloom? An original work of art? How did you treat it? Most of us take great care of our valuables. We display them in lighted cabinets or lock them in safes. Why? We want to protect them from scratches or tarnish or breakage or theft. What makes them special is their one-of-a-kind status.
That is what we are to God—special, chosen, beloved. He wants us to set ourselves apart exclusively for Him. We owe it to Him, then, to shine His light brightly and tell others of His greatness.
QUESTIONS Do you believe you are chosen? Do you accept that He has chosen you to declare His praises? Will you accept what He says is true of you right now? Will you declare that He has called you out of darkness and brought you into His wonderful light?
PRAYER Help me to realize how special I am as one of your chosen people. You have separated believers out of all the people of the world to live in and share Your wondrous light, Your gift to us. Thank You for choosing me for a purpose.
ACTION Read 1 Peter 2:9 aloud and tell God, “I am chosen, not forsaken; I am who You say I am.”
