As we continue to look at and examine God’s purpose for your life, what has He called you to do? There is a specific place in life where you will thrive!
John 15:16 (NKJV) says:
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
You must ask with a surrendered heart, not one that is selfish and self serving.
Ephesians 2:10 (AMP) says:
“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
Ephesians 1:4-12 (NASB77) says:
“just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, 8 which He lavished upon us. In all wisdom and insight 9 He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him 10 with a view to an administration suitable to the fulness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things upon the earth. In Him 11 also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, 12 to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.”
God sees the end of your life as well as its beginning. He also knows where you are at currently in your life’s journey and what you are becoming.
Think about being chosen by God. What does that mean to be chosen? It is to be chosen out of many, to be fit for God’s favor and to be separated from others. Are you available? Let Father God know your answer!
Matthew 10:29-31 NKJV
Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. [30] But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. [31] Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
As you daily walk trusting God for direction for your choices, you can have confidence that He intimately knows you.
