It’s Day 5, and today’s truth is so important: You are chosen and set apart by God. You were handpicked for a purpose, and He’s calling you to walk in it. Let’s dive into this beautiful truth together.
Scripture:
Let’s start today with a powerful scripture from 1 PETER 2:9 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:
Reflection
1 Peter 2:9 is a powerful declaration of who we are in Christ. As believers, we are not ordinary people; we are chosen by God, part of a royal priesthood, and a holy nation set apart for His purposes. This identity isn’t based on what we’ve done, but on God’s love and grace. He has called us out of darkness, into His light, to reflect His glory and declare His praises. This verse invites us to step into our calling with confidence, knowing that we belong to God and are empowered by His Spirit to live with purpose. We are His special possession, and our lives are meant to shine His light in the world, drawing others to His love.
Take a moment to think about how God has designed your life with purpose. Do you think you are ordinary? Do you know that you are chosen and set apart by God? How does this truth shape the way you see yourself today?
For me: I always thought it was only certain people, depending on what you do or how much money you have. God created me before the foundation of the earth, he chose me and set me apart for His purposes. To walk in this truth is amazing, to see how He uses me gives me so much joy and to know it does not matter who I am or what I do. I feel valued and loved. To know that when He looks at me, He only sees me. I have purpose.
Application: Live with purpose
Now, let’s talk about how to apply this truth to your life. Knowing that you are part of a royal priesthood and a holy nation means that God has a mission for you. Whether it’s through your work, relationships, or personal ministry. Ask God how you can serve Him and make His praises known to those around you. Your life is a testimony to the goodness of God. In every situation, let your words, actions, and attitudes reflect His love and light. Share your story of how He brought you out of darkness and into His wonderful light.
Prayer: Let’s pray together.
Lord, thank You for choosing me, for calling me out of darkness and into Your marvellous light. Help me to fully embrace this identity and live each day with purpose, reflecting Your love and goodness to the world around me. May my life declare Your praises in all I do, and may I never forget the incredible privilege of being called by You. Empower me to share Your light with others, bringing glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
