Peter 1:18 |
| knowing that ye
were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold,
from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers |
|
Valuable
to God |

Reading: 1 Peter
1:18-19
You know that
is was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that
you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you
from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a
lamb without blemish or defect. (New International Version)
If value is
determined by price, we are incredibly valuable. God took the most
precious treasure of heaven to buy us out of sin and death and
adopt us into his family. Silver and gold pale in comparison to
that value.
Prayer:
Holy God, may I live today constantly aware of my inestimable
value to you. May my words, thoughts and actions be permeated with
a sense of worth. Not so that I may seem important but so that I
may live in holiness and honor to your precious gift to me.
Through him I pray. Amen.
