“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” 1 Peter 2:9, NKJV.
I remember when I was younger, I would go to the park to play basketball. When creating teams to play against each other, two captains would pick who would play with them. Everybody else would then stand in a line, and with all types of height, shapes and sizes of young men in that line, it felt good to be chosen by a captain to be a part of his team.
You are just like that. You were standing in the world, among the hurting and the bruised, didn’t know where to turn, and God called you out to be His special people, His team to created to shine, heal and set the captive free. Out of all the men He could have chosen by name in this hour, He said yours. He hand-picked you, and it is honorable.
God says you are part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood of men, called to be light in the midst of darkness. You are special, God’s man, called to expand His kingdom and spread the Gospel to those that are lost. Chosen to show people how they can win in life through Christ Jesus. Like on a team, He needs your best game now. He needs you to yield to Him now. People need you now.
Prayer: Father, thank You for calling me. I understand You wouldn’t have chosen me if I couldn’t do it. I am a man of God. I have been called out, to be sent back into the world to be a light for You. I pray more men answer Your call. I yield to You Holy Spirit and I will live for You. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Study: Ephesians 2:10, 2 Chronicles 7:14
