Just think, you’re not here by chance, but by God’s choosing you.  His hand formed you, He made you the person you are.

From Psalm 139:13-14:  “For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  Wonderful are your works; that I know very well.”

Roy Lessin has dedicated his life to Christian ministry.  During his 50 plus years, he has been studying the Bible, sharing its teachings with others, and authoring numerous Christian books.  He is also one of the co-founders of DaySpring Greeting Cards.

There is only one place where we are right, and that is in Christ Jesus.

From 1 Peter 2:9:  “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the excellence of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher.  Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons.  Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST.  I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.

Stop and think.  We’ve no clue as to what will happen one minute from now . . . But our invisible God in His providence, is continually, constantly, and confidently at work.

From Revelation 17:14:  “They will wage war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with Him are called and chosen and faithful.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Christ . . . can only say to every group of Christian friends, “Ye have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another.”

From Proverbs 27:17:  “Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens the wits of another.”

Broken, yet chosen

Each doubt overcome

Following Jesus

Mercy’s sacred drum

 

Every believer

Jesus commissions

Making disciples

Spirit-led missions

 

God choreographs

Gospel-filled verses

Outlining faith’s map

Sin’s path reverses

 

Blessed tomorrow

One empty heart waits

Filling with Jesus

Shepherd opens gate

 

Hand-picked by Savior

Together as one

Stirring grace within

Eternity’s sun

From Matthew 28:19-20:  “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.  And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
