Malachi 1-2; Psalm 149; Proverbs 31:10-24
If you’re a Christian, you’re a priest. You know that, right? Check out 1 Peter 2:4-5: “As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
So if you’re a Christian, you’re a priest. But you say, “I don’t know how to be a priest. What do I do?”
Malachi has some words of guidance for you.
True instruction was in his mouth and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many from sin. For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth men should seek instruction--because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty. – Malachi 2:6-7
Walk with the Lord in peace and uprightness. Talk the truth the Lord teaches you to say. Turn people away from sin.
Because you are a priest.

I never feel like a priest, in the holy sense of the word.
Yeah, me neither. I guess that's why we need God to tell us the way things really are. We need His help!
