To start off today I need to say that verse Psalm 82:6 says we are gods, not God himself. There is no one who is to be put in place of God Himself, He is God alone. No other God can say I Am only God. So, we are not to think about this verse as we are to be God. But God has set his people who are called Jews first then Christians to be set apart and royal priesthood.
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? John 10:34 NKJV
Even Jesus said, we are gods, and nowhere does it say again that we are to be God. In all that I know and remember from things I have read and heard, gods can do certain things but cannot do all that God can do,
And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. Matthew 10:1 NKJV
God gave us this same power as did to the disciples.
God is everywhere all the time, and we cannot be everywhere all the time. This is just an example of the distinction between being a god versus being God.
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:1-2 ESV
We are to be like Christ meaning be a god, not God himself. We are to imitate the things of God, we are not to say we are Him.
Think about and meditate on these things.
Dear God help us to be like you said in Psalm 82:6
Be with us to be Christ-like
Help us to be imitators of you
Keep all negativity and bad spirits away from those who are set apart in You
Protect us from the lies of the devil and all his schemes
We thank you and praise you
In Jesus Name
Amen
