“As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 2:4-5)
“…the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.” (Isaiah 28:16)
“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.” (1 Peter 2:9)
Lord, it is in choosing you that we consciously walk away from the ways of the world. The ways of the worls are what we know and what we are comfortable with. It is in that very thing that you are calling me out of my comfort and security; stepping in faith towards you. In that decision, that choice, that you are shaping my spiritual being. I can, though, rest in comfort knowing that you are with me and I will never be put to shame. I can rest in the certainty of your undying love of me and for me. You have formed me into one of your chosen, you have set me apart; belonging to you. And what do you ask of me? To declare your praises because you have moved me from the darkness of my sin to the light of your undying love and grace.
You are most gracious and merciful. You are wonderful. Thanks you for all you have done and continue to do in and through my life. I am grateful for that and appreciative of your presence and action in my life.
