Today's Devotion


1 Peter 2:9 (King James Version)
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
Thoughts-
So many times we as Christians appear to be no different than anyone else in society. It is not necessary for us to physically appear odd, but our behavior should certainly appear to be odd in comparison with the traditional lifestyles and thinking of our culture. We view material wealth as blessings not possessions, doing good to someone who has wronged us, loving those who hate us, giving more than we can afford to a good cause ,neglecting even common sense ,but trusting in something much greater. By societies standards this behavior seems odd. We can be happy that we are odd enough to stand out and not blend into the crowd. The only cause for concern is when there is no difference.
