1 Peter 2:9-10
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. 10 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.
I love how the Message Bible translates 1 Peter 2:9-10.
“But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.”
Did you know you matter? You are not only recognized by God, you were chosen! You have been given a job to do and it is very important. It doesn’t matter what others think of you. It doesn’t matter what you look like, how much money you make, or even what you drive. You are chosen by God and a part of a holy people. You matter! You matter to God!
So, you need to straighten that crown and raise your head high today. You look Satan right in the eyes and let him know just who you are God’s special possession. You have gone from rejected to accepted!
Lord, I thank you for choosing me to be one of Your special possessions. ~amen
