Chosen!

For Wednesday, March 2, 2022

Ephesians 1:11 TLB: “Because of what Christ has done, we have become gifts to God that he delights in, for as part of God’s sovereign plan we were chosen from the beginning to be his, and all things happen just as he decided long ago.”

God has had his eye on you for quite some time. He knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb!

Mankind is God’s premier creation. God loves us, guides us, forgives us when we are wrong, and gladly welcomes us when we repent and return. We are forgiven by the work of Jesus on the cross, destined to be citizens of heaven. Knowing God is on our side places eternal hope within us!

God chose us, and God always gets his way!

Created!

For Thursday, July 22, 2021

Psalm 148:5 TLB: “Let everything God has made give praise to him. For he issued his command, and they came into being.”

God created everything in the universe out of nothing, but only mankind can worship, praise and give thanksgiving for what God has done. On Palm Sunday at the Triumphal Entry, Jesus said that if the people didn’t praise him, the stones would cry out! It’s a great metaphor, but stones, being inanimate objects, can’t actually thank their creator. The Bible says, “Let everything with breath praise the Lord,” and that’s us! God brought us into the world, and in His time, we will leave the earth.

You are presently in the world because God wants you here! Thank the Lord!
