Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Praise be to the God and Father or our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will- to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood , the forvigeness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ to be put into effect when the times will have reached thier fulfillment- to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.
In him we were also chosed, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.
Eph. 1:2-14
If you have ever wondered about your future and why things are as they are, I hope in these scriptures your understanding will come. Our lives are not bout us but about God's purpose for us. Need we not doubt that our times of trial are a divine part of his plan in leading us into the promises he holds tightly in his hands for us. We shall overcome again and trust and believe the Lord for he has chosen us for such a time as these to give his praises and glory and we listen and take heed to direction in obedience to our Heavenly Father.
We are a blessed people. A very blessed people.
