Benediction Lord Jesus, who has made us, your people, into a chosen race and royal priesthood, weld our hearts together in common unity in order that we might glorify your Father through our works of surrender and faith. Fill us with power through the Holy Spirit, and grant us the privilege of hearing your voice even as we raise our voices to you in prayer and praise today. All that we have we offer to you today, as living sacrifices, for your glory. In your name we pray, amen. Affirmation for the Day Sunday: God’s people are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a people destined for his possession forever. Monday: We who believe have come to and rest upon Jesus Christ, God’s chosen and precious Living Stone. Tuesday: Like living stones, God is building us up as a spiritual house to be a holy and royal priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Wednesday: We have the honor of resting on the foundation stone which God has laid in Zion, Jesus Christ the Lord, and so we will never be put to shame. Thursday: We who cling to Christ by faith are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession.
