9 But you are not like that, for you are a
chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession.
As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of
the darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9
Lets break
this verse down. In the beginning of
this chapter, Peter is describing evil behavior and saying that you are not
like that. He is saying that you are
chosen. You are not only set apart, but
you are also royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. YOU ARE GOD’S!!! That should make you feel like you are on top
of the world. You are chosen to be a
royal priest, a holy nation, and God’s very own child. You are special. But with great title come great
responsibility. You have to show others
that you are chosen by showing God’s goodness throughout the world. You must show others the way out of the
darkness because God has taken you out of the darkness and you know the way
out! This verse shows me that I am not
just an ordinary person, but I have a calling on my life. I am set apart from everyone else because I
have purpose in my life to fulfill and I’m not going to let anyone get in my
way. I AM CHOSEN!!!!!!!
6 “Be
strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to
possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them. Joshua 1:6
