“This is what the Lord says. He made you. He formed you when you were in your mother’s body. And he will help you. The Lord says, “People of Jacob, my servants, don’t be afraid. Israel, I chose you.” Isaiah 44:2 ICB
Chosen by God
Do you know that you are CHOSEN by God to be part of His Family? Isaiah told the Israelites way back in the Old Testament, and that means us as well, that we were not to be afraid because He chose us. And Paul, in the New Testament, re affirmed that very clearly when he wrote to the Galatians. He said “….God called me by his grace; and in love, he chose me from my birth to be his.” (Galatians 1:15 TPT)
These were just two instances and you’ll find many others throughout the Word of God where He reiterates this fact that we were chosen. What security that gives us as we walk forward with Jesus! It’s a well documented fact that children brought up in a balanced and loving home, by parents who love them and each other, are given the best start in life. This is because they are secure in the love that surrounds them.
Special Plans
As God’s children, wrapped around in the security of His love, we have nothing to fear as we grow in His Family. We’re not in any sense of the word ‘a mistake’ – quite the opposite. God has made special plans for the lives of each one of us, and all we need to do is to live each day in obedience to what He shows us to do. And He hasn’t even left us on our to do that either – He’s given someone to help us in the form of the Holy Spirit. How fantastic is that!
Let’s Declare together: “I am not a mistake, all my days are in your calendar Lord.”
Be blessed. 🙏❣️
