You are royalty
God has already chosen you to be a vessel unto honour. Notwithstanding where He picked you up from, to Him you are special, you are royalty!
Meditate on these:
1 Peter 2:9 - But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Psalm 21:3 - You welcomed him back with success and prosperity. You placed a crown of finest gold on his head.
Have you ever worn a physical crown before? How did it make you feel?
Even if you haven’t, the good news today is that as a child of God, you are already wearing a spiritual crown because you are royalty. God has set a crown of gold upon your head.
There are days when we feel inadequate. We feel like our lives don’t amount to anything meaningful. We feel like we’ve not achieved as much or are not yet where we want to be. Sometimes we feel small and even worthless.
These intrusive thoughts must be cast away because that’s not how God sees us.
One thing to remind yourself is that God has already chosen you to be a vessel unto honour. And notwithstanding where He picked you up from, to Him you are special, you are royalty.
Through God’s lens, we are co-heirs with Christ, we have been created to show forth his praise to the nations. We are light and we must shine!
In 1 Samuel 16, while David was still tending to his father’s sheep, God instructed Samuel to anoint him as king. David could have been having a bad day that day, he may have been thinking that he had been relegated to the back, doing the odd jobs, but he didn’t know what God had already prepared for him.
He didn’t know that God was about to anoint his head with oil and cause his cup to overflow. Even though he was the youngest, God chose him instead of his brothers.
So while you are juggling those jobs to make ends meet, or working out a way to get one; while things may seem unsteady and victory seems far-fetched, rest assured that God already sees you as royalty and He will surely establish you at His appointed time.
Whoever believes in God will not be disappointed so don’t lose hope.
The Bible says we are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Only royalty can sit with Christ. So find peace even amid your current struggle. God will never leave you or forsake you. He has called you by name, you are his child.
Prayer: Thank you Lord for reminding me that I am valuable before you. I am royalty. I pray for grace to continue to forge ahead and never give up. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Yesterday we looked at the topic - Are you still in touch with God?
If you didn’t get a chance to read it, you can still do so today.
God bless you!
