Everyday God brings forth His Saints as what many might call "an ordinary hero." These are the whispers of truth deep in the heart and mind, that bear fruits of righteousness, to act right and do what is right, according to truth, causing Justice to prevail.*******************
Justice prevails, not when evil is totally squashed, but when in the midst of evil, a voice rises up and confronts the darkness, piercing it with the Light of truth, that overcomes that which is evil!*****************
Each day as a believer we are afforded many opportunities to be a voice confronting the darkness, to choose not to be quiet, but instead to be ready to punish the evil of satan with the Word of Truth, knowing that each and every small victory, leads to a greater triumph for the overall battle!
Priest comes from the Greek word hierós pronounced hee-er-os' or can we say in other words HEROES!!!! We are called to be sanctified and purified before the Lord, as Holy Spirit does a mighty work within our heart and mind! When we do, this daily, being a living sacrifice, we are God's heroes!!!!

Robin Kirby Gatto *********************************
5 [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.
6 For thus it stands in Scripture: Behold, I am laying in Zion a chosen (honored), precious chief Cornerstone, and he who believes in Him [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] shall never be disappointed or put to shame.
7 To you then who believe (who adhere to, trust in, and rely on Him) is the preciousness; but for those who disbelieve [it is true], The [very] Stone which the builders rejected has become the main Cornerstone,
8 And, A Stone that will cause stumbling and a Rock that will give [men] offense; they stumble because they disobey and disbelieve [God’s] Word, as those [who reject Him] were destined (appointed) to do.
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:5-9 AMPC
