Set Apart For Obedience

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ: to the temporary residents dispersed in Pontis, Galatia, Capprodicia, Asia, and Birhynia, chosen to the foreknowledge of God the Father and set apart by the Spirit for obedience and the sprinkling with the blood of Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be multiplied to you. 1 Peter 1:,2

Ah! Back in the New Testament. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy the dispensation of grace as opposed to be in the wilderness of sin and struggling to be right with God, Old Testament.

Peter knew who he was and his message went to the temporary residents throughout the region who were living in a land that was not their homeland, it does not seem like much has changed. 
The are ao many disposed in our current world. 

We can focus on our pain and lack or on the goodness of God and seek how we can serve Him in our new circumstances.

We are set apart by grace for obedience not our own self satisfaction. What would God have me do? Who would He have me minister to?

Today is a new day. I have the opportunity to love my God, love those He has given me and serve Him.

Be of good cheer! He has overcome the world. Amen!
