Today's day-altering truths are in 1 Peter 2:1-10.
Lord,
Help me be honest and kind in my relationships today (1). Develop in me such an appetite for Your Word that I fuss and cry when I am not being fed with it. I know i will not grow toward maturity (the fulness of Christ) without it (2). Help me value what You value (4). Thank You for giving me: 1) a new identity (i'm now part of the chosen race that is more important than my natural race. I am also now a child of the King); 2) a new task (as a priest-bringing the world to God and making God's will known to the world); 3) a new people; and 4) a new owner (i don't own myself). Although i don't deserve them, You give me these to make Your greatness known through me (9-10). Grow me up today so I will not leave a bad taste in others' mouths about You. Let them see in me that You taste good (3).
