Who am I in Christ?  Day 1:  A Peculiar People

       ''But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an 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:''

-1 Peter 2:9

  Today, [New Year's day] 1 Peter 2:9 spoke to me in a new way.  I've heard many a sermon based on the "chosen generation" bit of this verse, but what about being a "peculiar people"?  In John 17:14-16, we are told to be in the world, not of the world.  My prayer for all of you today is that you are peculiar to the world, standing upright and loving one another in the name of God.

 Want to dig deeper?  Check out Titus 2:14, 1 John 2:15-17, and 1 Peter 2:11

Happy New Year everyone!  I love and pray for each and every one of you in this upcoming year.  May God make 2014 a season of blessings!

Love, Gabrielle Marie
