You Are Loved. You Are Chosen.
Do you ever struggle with God’s truth and your feelings being at odds?
Verse of the Day
‘Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.’
Today’s Devotional
I have no idea what is going to happen in the next few weeks. I cannot predict the future. But God can. And today’s verse tells me that God knew you before the world was even created. He knew when you would be born. He knew what you would be named. He knew what your personality would be. And He knew all the many sins you would commit. And still He CHOSE you.
Before the world was formed, God knew you. Before you were born, God loved you and loves you still. Before you could do anything right or wrong in your life, God chose you.
If you believe in Jesus, then you stand before the Father God – right now in this moment – as completely holy. He sees no fault in you.
Verses like this are hard for me to wrap my brain around. My feelings do not always align with God’s truths. But that does not make God’s truths any less true.
You are loved and chosen by God. For today, I pray that we can humbly bow before the God who loves us and choses us.
