One only has to look at creation to be impressed by God. He created the expansive and ever-expanding universe. And as big as big is, the microscopic world He created is as small. But Creator isn’t all He is. He’s omnipotent, omnipresent and eternal. His character, too, is most astounding: forgiving, loving, pure, holy, truthful, dependable, full of grace and mercy. These are “His excellencies.”

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession. I Peter 2:9

Part of a Christian’s unique purpose is to declare those excellencies as an expression of who you are in Him! As one of His people, you are chosen. You are a priest – someone who helps people draw near to God. You are a citizen of a holy nation. And you belong to God.

He called you out of darkness into light and to be a light (Matthew 5:16). Today, share one of His excellencies with someone…through a prayer, a poem, a painting or word of praise. And pray for the unbelievers of this nation that their eyes will be opened to who Jesus is – so they will be led to repentance and experience for themselves the impressiveness of their loving Creator.
