Going Deeper (9/2/22)

“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. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” - 1 Peter 2:9-10 (NIV) 

 

Ideas for going deeper:

  • Think about specific ways that Jesus is precious to you. Journaling can aid in this. 

 

  • Declare His praises today (1 Peter 2:9): turn up the worship music in your home, offer thanks out loud, share with someone how Jesus has called you out of darkness and into his wonderful light.

 

  • Ask your family or friends how they would describe Jesus (perhaps at a meal or in the car). 


  • Make a poster or write on an index card some words that describe who you are according to 1 Peter 2:9-10.


  • Practice silence for a time (even if only for five minutes). Ask the Holy Spirit to help you silence your lips and open your heart up to embracing your precious Savior.

 

  • Meditate on this passage and/or commit it to memory.
