Shalom,

In our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today we read 1 Peter 2

1 So be done with every trace of wickedness (depravity, malignity) and all deceit and insincerity (pretense, hypocrisy) and grudges (envy, jealousy) and slander and evil speaking of every kind. 2 Like newborn babies you should crave (thirst for, earnestly desire) the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow unto [completed] salvation, 3 Since you have [already] tasted the goodness and kindness of the Lord. 4 Come to Him [then, to that] Living Stone which men tried and threw away, but which is chosen [and] precious in God’s sight. 5 [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.

These verses tell us how to stay in the center of God's will and how to be pleasing to HIM! Then HE says THIS about US!

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

HALLELUJAH!!! We ARE, of ALL people, MOST BLESSED! Let's stay in the BLESSING by continuing in fellowship with Him, by Holy Spirit IN us, and by being DOERS of the Word we know to do! AMEN! Here is Hillsong UNITED  with "All This Future":

Shalom in Him!
