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

This verse serves to remind us who we are in Christ! Do you see yourself as God’s special possession? Each one of us has a calling upon our life. We are to declare his praises! This can be so easy to forget. Have you been living it?

What might you use as a reminder as this week unfolds? You belong to God and with that comes the ability to declare his praises! Called out of darkness into his WONDERFUL light. The iPhone has an ability to make letters in a text message jump. I want to make the word wonderful jump before your eyes!

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. ²¹ But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. John 3:19-21 NIV

Love the light. Love the Lord! Declare praises.
