His Choice

God from the beginning chose you for salvation.
2 Thessalonians 2:13

Read: 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17

Bible in a Year: Numbers 12-14;

Mark 5:21-43

When our were small, I often prayed with them after we tucked them into bed. But before I prayed, I sometimes would sit on the edge of the bed and talk with them. I remember telling our Libby, €œIf I could line up all the 4-year-old girls in the world, I would walk down the line looking for you. After going through the entire line, I would choose you to be my . That always put a big smile on Libby's face because she knew she was special.

If that was a smile-worthy moment for her, think of the grace-filled fact that the Creator-God of the universe €œfrom the beginning chose you for salvation€ 2 Thess. 2:13. Before time began, He desired to make you His own. This is why Scripture often uses the picture of adoption to communicate the amazing reality that, through no merit or worthiness of our own, we have been chosen by Him.

This is stunning news! We are €œbeloved by the Lord€ v.13 and enjoy the benefits of being part of His family. This glorious truth should fill our lives with humility and gratitude. €œNow may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us . . . establish you in every good word and work€ vv.16-17.
I will be forever grateful that I am Your ,
Father, and that You love me! Teach me to remember
all the benefits of belonging to You, and may I
serve You faithfully as part of Your family.

It’s God'€™s choice to love you and to make you part of His family.
