SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 2: 4-10
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, ap people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light (1 Peter 4:9).
OBSERVATION:
The words, ‘chosen’, ‘royal’, and ‘holy nation’ are wonderful descriptive words. But being described as ‘belonging’ to God is the most promising and hopeful way to be described.
APPLICATION:
We are called out of the trouble of this world to proclaim the glorious gift of love and salvation. God expects to act chosen, royal, and holy as we praise God and share the gift of hope and salvation.
PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for choosing me to share your love, use me as your instrument to tell of your glory.
YIELD:
I must yield excuses used to NOT proclaim the love of Christ to others.
