For today’s devotion, we invite you to spend time pondering God’s message to you in this passage from I Peter 2:9-10.
Read it slowly.
Ask yourself, “What is God saying to me? What lesson should I learn?”
Ask yourself, “How is God inviting me to respond to this truth?”
Consider how your life might be shaped, changed, or formed by the truth in this passage.
Read the passage again, this time as a prayer. Ask God to make the truth it teaches or the response it asks for a reality in your life.
Spend a few minutes in quiet reflection and celebration as you close your devotion time.
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.
I Peter 2:9-10
