MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL FOR 22nd SEPTEMBER

THE 22nd OF SEPTEMBER

GOD HAS A PURPOSE AND A CALLING FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US

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

God’s purpose in creating the Universe and mankind is to have a people that are truly His and will spend eternity in heaven with Him. The way we live while on this earth, determines where we will spend eternity. The Lord delivered, saved and prepared a calling for each of us that leads to a life set apart for Him, with the purpose to fulfill His will. The Lord wants us to surrender it all to Him, depend on Him in every area of life and give Him the glory that He deserves.

The reason God did all of this for us is not because of something we did or any personal merit. If any of us could save himself, Jesus would not have to die in our place. In His amazing grace, the Lord saved and called us for His purpose, to have us with Him now and for eternity. God decided to offer us His amazing and undeserved favor, in His Son, Jesus Christ, before He created the earth and universe.

SUGGESTED PRAYER

What amazing grace You have prepared for me, dear Lord, before You even created the universe! I was on Your mind since You started to plan this world and all in it. I am so blessed to know that it is not for me to earn it, just to receive and keep it. Please help me to remain true to You all the days of my life and fulfill Your calling for my life. Thank You with all my heart for saving me and please help me to live holy for Your glory and to please You in all I do. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen
