05/06 1 Peter 2:7
7 Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him. But for those who reject him, “The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.”
HONOR
God chooses whom and what He will honor. He has told us in His Word that He honors the Christ. Jesus is the Christ and He is most honored by God. Choose Jesus if you believe the Word of God. Trust in Him and only in Him.
05/05 1 Peter 2:6
As the Scriptures say, “I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem, chosen for great honor, and anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”
CHOSEN
Jesus is God’s everything. He was chosen before the foundation of the World. He is the honored Son of God. Trust in Jesus and you will never be disappointed.
05/04 1 Peter 2:5
And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God.
LIFE
Your life counts. Jesus equips you to have a relationship with the perfect, almighty, eternal Father. The Holy Spirit power of God leads you in the Holy Way. Jesus is Lord-He is your Lord.
05/03 1 Peter 2:4
You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God’s temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor.
JESUS
Jesus was sent by the Father to save us from our sin. He is the Messiah, God and our salvation. He is the living embodiment of the unseen Lord. He represents God’s love sent to us. He is Lord. Rejoice for He is alive today and lives in us.
05/02 1 Peter 2:2-3
Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, 3 now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.
WORD
Read the Word of God-the Bible. Devour it as if the life you live depends upon it because it does. The Work of God in you is that you know the Word, and live the Word in your daily life. God’s Word is for life and living. Read the Word of God and remember it.
05/01 1 Peter 2:1
So get rid of all evil behavior. Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech.
YOU
God’s Word is directed at you. We are not fruit inspectors of others but instead are charged with cleaning up our own behavior and actions. You change. You rejoice. You tend to your business and love one another. Simple huh. Be about the Lord’s work in your life and encourage and love those around you. Period.
04/30 Psalm 100:5
For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.
WORD
God’s Word is true. He is faithful. His faithfulness is ALWAYS. Trust in the Lord and He will see you through. This world is passing away. God is not. He was here before there was anything. He will be here when all things we know pass away. God is eternal. He shares Himself with us and gives us participation in Himself. We belong to Him and we will be with Him from now unto forever. Trust in the Lord.
04/29 Psalm 100:4
Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name.
BE
Be there. Do think about the things of God and the people He loves including you. The Father is worthy of all praise. The Holy Spirit is worthy of all praise. Jesus is worthy of all praise. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Three in One. Praise the Lord.
04/28 Psalm 100:3
Acknowledge that the LORD is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
OBEY
We acknowledge the Lord when we obey Him. Do those things you know to do. Talk with Him. Develop a relationship with Him. Remember that the Lord rejoices to give us His power. He wants our success. Praise the Lord. We belong to Him.
04/27 Psalm 100:2
Worship the LORD with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy.
RIGHT
It is right to worship the Lord. Sing before Him. Be aware that you are in His presence. As you sing and praise Him remember the importance of obedience. Do what He says. That too is part of our worship. Finally love one another. Jesus is Lord.
