1 Peter 2:9
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.
Recently while watching the various ceremonies of the queen's funeral, I was awestruck by the way the royal family had to posture and purport themselves. There was a way that was expected for a royal blood to dress, behave, stand and even speak. There was a cadence of pious dignity in the way they marched down the streets. In other words they clearly understood the roles of a royal. Here we are as children of the MOST HIGH GOD and we don't know who we are. The scripture makes a undeniably bold claim in saying that we are a part of a royal priesthood. Let's begin to ponder that for a moment. You, are not a pauper but rather a royal priest in God. Let's make this make since, if the shoe fits, wear it! Today is a beginning of a new month, position yourself as you should be. You are more than you think that you are.
Let us Pray: Lord increase Faith Today so that we can begin to see ourselves as you see us. Gracious God, lead us in the path of your glory. Lord, let us become comfortable in being who you have made us to be. Lord in your mercies hear our prayers and heal our land. Amen
