Every Christian is an ambassador and royal priest (Ephesians 6:19-21 & 1 Peter 2:9). An ambassador is someone who represents a government or kingdom in a foreign land. Because all Christians are citizens of heaven, they represent God’s kingdom on Earth. A priest represents people to God. God has made all Christians priests. We can talk to God and praise him for his mercy, grace and love.
Think About This: God is always about the business of expanding his kingdom of life and love. He is looking for Christians who will represent him as royal ambassadors and priests.
Memorize This Truth: “He knows our lives are short, that they are like grass. He knows we are like a little wildflower that grows so quickly, but when the hot wind blows, it dies. Soon, you cannot even see where the flower was” (Psalm 103: 15-16).
What can you praise God for today?
How is God working in your life to grow his kingdom?
Can you think of how God might use you in the future?
