Reading: 1 Peter 2:9
“We are a royal priesthood.”
Prayer
Father, You are teaching
me the most important lesson today. You have chosen me and set me apart for the
kingdom of priests, Your holy nation, Your very own possession. I can show
others the goodness of God. You called me out of the darkness into Your
wonderful light to spread the Good News of the Gospel of Christ.
Once, I did not belong
to You, but now You have made me a child of God, and I have received all of
God’s mercy through the Cross of Christ. I will not base my self-concept on my
accomplishments. I know my relationship with Jesus is far important than a job,
success, wealth, or knowledge. You have called me to represent Him to others.
My value comes from being one of God’s children not because of what I may do. I
have worth because of what He does for me. Grant me wisdom and knowledge in
Christ Jesus. Amen.
Lessons To Be Learnt
God called us out of the
darkness into His light and wants us to become part of His holy nation, His
very own possession. God chose us, we did not choose Him to declare all His
praises to His people. We must not base self-concept on our accomplishments.
Our relationship with Jesus is far more important than any job, success,
wealth, or knowledge. God has called each of us to represent Him to others. All
our values come from being children of God not because of what we may have
done. Our worth is what He has done for us and in us and through us.
