This Verse is Talking about Us!

As the host of heaven cannot be counted and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me. Jeremiah 33:22

Here’s something for you to think about today as you go about your routine: These words—these lofty promises—written over 2800 years ago, are talking about you.

The descendants of King David that the Lord promised would arise are all men, women, boys and girls—both Jews and Gentiles—who would profess faith in God’s Son in the coming ages. The people of God changed from those who were part of a national heritage by birth and geography to those who are adopted through faith.

And you, as a believer in Jesus, are one of those divinely adopted sons of David.

The countless Levites that God promised would arise are those same sons and daughters of David—believers in Jesus–who through the calling and equipping of the Holy Spirit would minister in his name in the ages to come.

God’s priests today are not those who have taken certain vows or those who are born into a particular earthly linage, but rather those who, through faith in Jesus, have been called as His holy and royal servants.

And again, because you follow Jesus, you are one of his priests.

So as you go about your day, remember your true identity and your true assignment.

You are not ordinary—you are God’s holy son or daughter.

You are not here on earth to just pass time or scratch out a living—you are here to serve as God’s holy and royal priest.

Holy God, thank you for adopting us as your children and calling us to be your priests. In Jesus’ name . . .
