"In
Christ we also have obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to
the purpose of Him Who accomplishes all things according to His counsel and
will, so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for
the praise of His glory" (Ephesians 1:11-12).
You
created me and destined me according to a purpose. And though You already know
every choice I'll ever make and every choice that everyone will ever make who
will have any influence upon my life throughout all generations, You still
empower me with the freedom to choose every moment of every day. Every question
and decision, every test and challenge, becomes an opportunity to embrace You
and Your destiny for my life or not: "I have set before you life and death,
blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendents may live"
(Deuteronomy 30:19).
In the
freedom that the nature of Your love requires, it's both my privilege and
responsibility to choose well in the grace You give whether to trust in You or
trust in myself, whether to lean into Your will for my life or push back against
it. I have the freedom to choose whether to "resolve to do the will of God" or
resolve to do something else, something less (John 7:17).
So as
best as I can and all by Your grace, I choose You and I choose life. I choose
the life You've destined for me. I set my hope on You and choose to live my life
for the praise of Your glory. I choose to embrace the inheritance I have already
obtained in Christ. I will not despise my birthright, nor deny my heritage. In
You, I am a son of God, created with purpose, calling, and destiny. And I
believe You are able and willing to accomplish all You have purposed in Your
heart for my life according to Your will. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Be
encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
