Bible Reading: 1 Peter 2:9-11
Memory Verse: 1 Peter 2:9, “But you are a chosen generation . A royal priests,[g] a holy nation, God’s own special people / that you Day proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of the darkness into his marvelous light.”
It isn’t humility to see yourself as unworthy of God’s use. We have been made in God’s image and that is why we can be used of him. We are children of God, just like Jesus is. Can you imagine Jesus talking like he is unworthy to be used of God? If he had done that, the people would never have said he spoke like on with authority.
God has not called us to a life he has not powered us to live. This verse shows that there are glorious riches deposited in us which are his inheritance in us. In my understanding, God expects profit from our lives. He is a master investor and expects profit from his investment in us. We mustn’t live unproductively because there’s a lot invested in us. The way we can be productive is by going into the world and manifesting the glory and power of the Holy Spirit that’s in us. When we do, we shall see lives changed and turned to Jesus in repentance.
