The Lightness of The Priesthood

The Call of the Kohanim
1 Peter 2:9 calls you a royal priesthood. Priests in Hebrew is kohanim. In Messiah, you're one of God's kohanim - the spiritual version of the priests of Israel. All the tribes of Israel had an inheritance in the land, except for Levi and particularly the kohanim - the priests. They alone had no inheritance, no real estate. The reason is God wanted them to be unattached and free to serve Him, worship Him, and to have their hearts on Him. Numbers 18:20 says, "For I shall be their inheritance." God was their inheritance. That's true for you, if you're His priest. You have no inheritance in this world- your possessions and riches aren't here. As a priest of God, you can't get so attached and weighed down by things; God wants you free, so you can serve and glorify Him. God called you higher and above this world to serve Him, do His will, enter His presence, and know His glory. Live your true calling as a priest of God, because He has called you for something much greater than this world. God Himself is your inheritance.

Today's Mission
Let go of that attachment that is weighing you down. Then serve the Lord today in the freedom and lightness of your priesthood.

1 Peter 2:9
9 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;
But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.

Have a blessed day and week.
May Yeshua Hamashiach bless you,
Love, Lizzy
