READ: 1 PETER 2:9-12
Blessed
That is what I am today
Each day of my life
Thanks to You
Thankful
You take care of me today
Each day of my life
My journey is with You
Happy
To never be alone
Each day of my life
Your gentle hand leads
Humbled
You call me Your child
Each day of my life
You love me as Your own • Bethany Acker
• Which of the stanzas in today’s poem sticks out to you the most today? Why?
• Once we’ve put our trust in Jesus, God calls us to ponder the wonderful truths of who we are in Jesus and the blessings He has given us. As we take time to remember God’s goodness, we often find it feels easier to trust Him. If you want to dig deeper, read Psalm 23; John 1:12-13; Ephesians 1:3-11; 1 John 3:1. Do you have any other favorite verses or passages that reveal God’s presence, blessings, care, guidance, love, etc.?
You are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9 (NLT)
