Scripture:
“And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.””
Exodus 19:6 NKJV
Observation:
God was speaking to Moses about the people he was leading and their relationship with God. God was telling Moses what He wanted. His desire was that Israel be “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” In Revelation, we see that God calls us a kingdom of priests. God has always desired a people who would serve Him as a kingdom of priests.
Application:
In the New Testament we are called a royal priesthood and a holy nation. In Revelation we are seen as a kingdom of priests for the Lord. God’s desire has always been to have a purified, set apart, people who were fully and completely His. My job is to live a sanctified life and step into that priestly role. I daily want to come to the altar of sacrifice and live a life that is fully devoted to the Lord.
Prayer:
Father, I want to live as a priest in Your kingdom. I want to live separated from the world and dedicated to You and Your purposes. Help me to live a sanctified life, completely abandoned to Your will and desires. Once again this morning, I give myself to You. Let Your purposes and plans come forth for my life.
Yours,
Jeff
