“He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own Purpose and Grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,” 2 Timothy 1:9 (NIV)
One of the reasons we prepare these short messages each day is to remind ourselves each day that we have a wonderful and awesome God who has a purpose for each of us. Our verse today tells us the amazing Truth that God started planning for us a very long time ago – even before the beginning of time as we know it. And when was that? Well, God's plans for us began before he even made the world, before he started counting days as we can read about in the first chapter of the first book of the Bible. So, long before you and I were born God knew we would be a part of his creation and that we would need His grace and His love. We should never forget that and always remember He is still working out His plans for one of us. Now, that is a very impressive truth and promise.
