What’s More,
You Are His Holy Priests;
So Come To Him And Offer To God Those Things That Please Him

Jesus Christ is the Corner Stone. You and I are God’s holy priests. We are the living-stones in the Kingdom that God is building. What do you and I have that we can offer God? A priest in the Old Testament offered sacrifices for the people of God. Jesus Christ our High Priest offered His body as a sacrifice for our sins. God has called us to offer ourselves to Him as “living sacrifices”. God says that you and I are “priests” – we have a living sacrifice to offer Him – ourselves – our very own lives! Lets make Him smile by the way we live our lives. It is a choice that we must make every single day – lets live for Him today and lets make it a habit!

Scripture

1 Peter 2 

5 And now you have become living building-stones for God’s use in building his house. What’s more, you are his holy priests; so come to him—you who are acceptable to him because of Jesus Christ — and offer to God those things that please him.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me put into practice what I have read today from Your Word. I want to be a living sacrifice to You. Help me live this day in a way that pleases You. Don’t let me be conformed to the world around me. I want to make You smile today. Show me anything in my life that is not pleasing to You. Let me the moment that I sin so I can confess it and stay right with You. I pray for the people in my life that are struggling to change the direction of their lives. Give them victory over the old habits, over the old empty way of life and help them to offer their bodies as living sacrifices. Help them to bring You honor and glory with the way they live.
