The world watched and waited for the good news of a new member of the royal family in Great Britain, born on Monday.
 
Yesterday we were introduced to the new baby boy of  Will and Kate. There is no way this baby has any idea of his identity and the kind of family into which he has been born, nor the riches and privileges which will be a part of his life as long as he lives. He is right now a Prince on his way to become King of England some day. Any day his 'given' name will be on the lips of billions of people in our world.
 
He has done nothing to receive this new 'rock star' status.
 
What about us and our family members? And those who live around us?
 
God has the same status in mind for each one of us as His Children.
 
 
"But you are a chosen people, 
a royal priesthood, 
a holy nation, 
God’s special possession, 
that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness
 into his wonderful light. 
Once you were not a people,
but now you are the people of God; 
once you had not received mercy,
but now you have received mercy."
~ I Peter 2:9,10
 
Just as these new parents and the world has welcomed this new child into their lives and their royal family with all of its trappings, we too are part of a royal family: God's!  Enjoy your status and special privileges!
 
Thank You, God, for introducing each of us as believers into Your Royal Family and taking us into Your Forever Family. Walk with us as we journey through Your Kingdom today. All of this was made possible by King Jesus and His death on the cross. We praise You! Amen.
