BUT YOU

Today's reading: 1 Peter 1-3

"But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are a kingdom of priests, God's holy nation, his very own possession. This is so you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light." 1 Peter 2:9 NLT

Look around you.

Notice all the personality quirks, unlovely dispositions and erratic behaviors that annoy the life out of you.

Bad behavior. Unkindness. Disloyalty. Bitterness. Anger.

Now re-read the verse.

Go ahead, re-read it.

There should be a stark contrast between you and 'them'.

There should be light and day difference between you and an unbeliever.

There should be telltale signs that you are truly a chosen people, a priest, a holy nation, God's very own possession!

If there isn't, well...
