A Kingdom of Priests

 Scripture:

“Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to me. And you will be my kingdom of priests, my holy nation.’ This is the message you must give to the people of Israel.””  ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭19‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

As Moses was ready to go up Mt Sinai to meet with the Lord, God spoke to him and told him to communicate with the people. He told Moses to tell the people that if they would obey God and keep His covenant, they would be His own special treasure, and they would be a kingdom of priests, a holy nation. This has always been the heart of God.

Application:

God has always desired a people who are set apart for Him. He has always looked for a people who would be completely His and that He could make a kingdom of priests. He wants to walk with us and talk with us, but He needs us to live according to His ways and His desires. When we do, we will become a kingdom of priests who reflect the glory of the Lord. Our job is to keep covenant with God. His job is to make us His people.

Prayer:

Father, i want to be a covenant keeper. I want to walk in fellowship with You on a daily basis. I want to live as a priest, in constant communion with You. You are my heart and my desire. I long to serve You well and to know You more and more intimately. You are my everything. Let my life bring Your glory and honor. Help me to obey all Your decrees and covenants.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
