DAILY DEVOTIONAL TODAY - January 19, 2023 || Our Daily Bread [Daily Devotion] | MamClaireTV

Devotional Message:
(I Peter 2:9)
“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.”

God cares about the way we live. Why? Because it is the evidence that others see about God. Many people will never read the Bible but they will read our lives. They may not hear about the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke or John, but they will know the Gospel according to you! You see, Peter wrote that you are part of a chosen people. You are a Royal Priest of Almighty God. You are part of a Holy Nation. Because of this you have the privilege and the responsibility, to represent your King. You are to show others the goodness of God by the way you live. It is your life that silences the skeptics that would bring dishonor to God. People want to see an honest, real and authentic life. A life where you admit when you are wrong. Where you fall but get up and try again. Where your faith is weak but you surrender to the love of God anyways. God chose you. Now it is your turn. Choose to live for Him.

Today simply enjoy the love and acceptance of God. Soak in His presence and let His unconditional love for you reach deep into your heart. As you visualize this day, see yourself being real, forgiven, unpressured by other people’s expectation. Feel a freedom come over you. Let it settle into your chest and relax your whole body. Today you will live authentically. Today you will live in the joy of knowing that God has chosen you and that you are His priest, His own loved creation.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for choosing me. Thank You for making me a Royal Priest, a chosen person, part of a Holy nation. Help me to live accordingly. I cannot do it by myself. I need Your help to live the kind of life that would honor You. Help me to that end I pray. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
