S.E.E.D For Today
Scripture: "You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people who belong to God, chosen to declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light." I Peter 2:9
Explanation: In this verse Peter gives a clear contrast of the destiny and privilege of believers. As a believer we are a distinct group from the rest of the world, unified by the Holy Spirit. Not by a physical birth but by spiritual rebirth into the royal family through Jesus Christ. In light of that you must live according to this principle of no longer living a commoner's life. Walk in retrospect of the Kingdom of which you represent, unique and holy. Remember to hold fast to what you have for the Lord is coming soon, see to it that no one takes your crown. (ref. verse Rev. 3:11)
Example: Royal is either belonging to a King (Kingdom) or having kingly power, dignity, or authority. We as believers belong to a Kingdom whom citizens are priest, royal priest that is. "We keep the royal law found in scripture, loving others as we love ourselves." (ref. scripture James 2:8) Let us train and think as royals, who were not initially born into royalty. At one time we were not a people but thanks to God through Jesus He loved us, called us and made us His.
Devotion: We give all Glory and Honor "to Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priest to serve His God and Father, to Him be Glory and Power for ever and ever! Amen." (ref. scripture Rev. 1:6)
