A Holy Nation

As a new college student, I have been daily focusing on a verse or passage to help me renew my mind on truth in a different environment, and to keep me focused on my central passion during this season of my life.

The first verse I studied was 1 Peter 2:9--"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."

I am so grateful to, as I look and see all the lost people around me on a daily basis, be aware of the holy, elite institution that God has called me to. How wonderful it is be one who is called out of darkness into marvelous light! Its implications are unending and amazing, including proclaiming its excellencies to those around me. May God give me the wisdom and grace to do that, and to be continually more astounded that I am apart of the elite group of God's holy nation and people!
