Today's bible verse is: 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."
What is God telling me today?
Sometimes life feels like a long stretch of waiting in the shadows—wondering if God sees us, if He’s still working. The days drag on, heavy with questions, and it’s tempting to think we’re forgotten. But then comes this verse, a quiet thunderclap of truth: you are chosen. Not overlooked, not abandoned, but handpicked by God to belong to Him.
It’s not just a title—it’s a lifeline. A royal priesthood means we’re invited to stand before Him, to carry His light even when the world feels dim. Think of Exodus 19:6, where God first called His people a kingdom of priests—now that promise echoes over us too. We’re not defined by our struggles, but by His voice calling us out of the dark.
So, lift your head today. You’re His special possession, not because of what you’ve done, but because of who He is. What’s one way you can step into that identity right now, even if it feels shaky?
Let's pray today
Lord, You see me when I feel lost in the shadows, and You call me chosen. Thank You for naming me Yours, for pulling me into Your light when I can’t find my way. Steady my heart with the truth of who I am in You—a priest, a treasure, set apart by Your love. When doubts creep in, remind me of Your unshakable promise. Help me live boldly today, declaring Your praises with my words and my steps. Let Your light shine through me, even in the smallest moments, so others might see You too. Amen.
