God Chooses You
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.—1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.—Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
God’s word has tremendous power when it is hidden in your heart. The faith that no one else can see connects you to God and provides a strong foundation from which all other relationships can grow and flourish. Make it a point to memorize Scripture to strengthen your connection and help you live a faith-filled life.
Dear Lord, from the words of Psalm 119:11, “I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.”
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.—1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver.—Psalm 66:10 (NIV)
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.—Hebrews 6:19–20 (NIV)
