i'm so thankful...
September 12 2005
i'm so thankful... that God is sovereign and that He has our best interests (to give us a hope and a future) at heart and that even when we think that we need something, He knows better. He's always taking care of us.
I love it when you can look back at years past and see His protection from something you didn't understand, and then suddenly He decides to reveal to you why you went through it all... His perfect purposes.
I'm also thankful for these verses in ephesians:
NIV - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
the message - Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we'd done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.
~ the work he has prepared us for - the work we'd better be doing ~
grace is so wonderful - may it move us on toward good deeds so that God may get all the glory. after all, we are here to be spent, by doing the work that he's created us for :)
