Fulfilling My Priesthood Duty

[S] Revelation 1:6 --
 ⁶and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father--to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

[O] One of the inherent nature of the society we live in is about holding certain positions in that society and fulfilling the duties.  When everyone's doing their duties well, that society functions harmoniously but when people only pursue to gain the title of the positions only, then that society will suffer from disunity and confusion among members.  John's description of us is that He made us to be a kingdom of priests to worship and glorify God.  Our position in our Christian society is to be the priests and when we realize this and fulfill our positions then we will create a harmonious community.  If we just hold on to the title of being priests, then we will contribute to the confusion.

[A] The education and training I've received desires me to set goals to achieve and that overflows into my spiritual life where I am driven to set some goals to accomplish (for the Lord).  However, before I do that as the kingdom priest, I must unceasingly give Him the glory and dominion forever and ever through my worshipful life, praising His presence in my life.  This can be done anywhere and can be done all by myself -- it's very simple.  So I must carry out my duty as the priest whenever I can.

[P] Dear Father, Your appointment of kingdom priesthood was taken too lightly by me and I want to remember this more often to fulfill my duty as the priest.  In a nutshell, I want to recognize Your awesomeness of being my God and my Savior and I want to worship You with such a praising heart.  Please take joy as I do that in Your name.  Amen.
