WHO SAVED US AND CALLED US?

(God), who has saved us and called us

with a holy calling,

not according to our works,

but according to His own purpose

and grace which was given to us

in Christ Jesus before time began,

2 Timothy 1:9

WHAT IS THE HOLY CALLING?

This is the greatest news! God did not call us because we were

so great. He called us because He had a purpose for us.

We have a call on our lives that only can be fulfilled by God

through us. And His grace (willingness to use His power on our behalf)

was given to us to accomplish His purpose in us.

My, oh, my. That is such great news. God did not call

us to do His purpose without equipping us to fulfill the plan.

THEN, what is the problem? Why do we keep going to God

in prayer begging Him to work in our lives. He already has.

His grace did not stop when we were born, or when we were

born again. His grace works on and on. If we are not accomplishing

our destiny then guess who is the problem? NOT GOD. I don't know

a single person who is perfect and always does the right thing

at the right time. But God's grace covers those shortcomings and

moves ahead with His plan for our life. Thank God, we are not

used by God because we are so great and never make a mistake.

God keeps us covered. When we are doing the best that we know

to do, the grace of God comes along and fills in the gaps.

Sometimes when we feel that we have failed the worst,

God is saying, "That's okay, I've got you covered. Keep

on moving". Is that great news, or what?

YOU CAN MOVE OUT TODAY IN FAITH,

WITH GOD'S GRACE.

GOD HAS YOU COVERED.
