TODAY'S DEVOTION. QUALITY VALUE!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE “Come to the Lord, the living stone rejected by people as worthless but chosen by God as valuable” (1 Peter 2:4 GNT).
God says not only are you accepted by Him, you’re also valuable in quality! How much do you think you’re worth? I’m not talking about your net worth; I’m talking about your quality self worth. Don’t ever confuse your valuables with your value as a person. Your being rich or poor has nothing to do with your value as a person. Two things determine the quality of your value in life:
1. Value is what someone is willing to pay for something.
2. Value depends on who has owned something in the past.
Based on these two things, what is your value? Ask yourself, “Who owns me?” and “What was paid for me?” The Bible says, “You have been bought and paid for by Christ, so you belong to him” (1 Corinthians 7:23a TLB).
You belong to God and Jesus paid the price for you with his life. The Cross proves your quality and value. Nobody has ever paid a greater ransom than that which God paid for you! You are acceptable and you are valuable.
Peter uses the imagery of a building project to illustrate our value. God is embarked on stone building project that represents the Church, the family of God, and you are one of the stones. “Come to the Lord, the living stone rejected by people as worthless” (1 Peter 2:4a TEV).
Jesus is the living stone. He was perfect, but some people still rejected him. Some of you may think, “If I could just be perfect, then I would be accepted.” No! Jesus was perfect,yet He was not accepted by everyone. But He was “chosen by God as valuable.”God is building His Church, but it’s not found in temples or church buildings. God lives in people and you are his spiritual house.
TODAY'S PRAYER
Thank you Lord Jesus for the price you paid at Calvary that makes me valuable and acceptable. Amen.
