He Has A Plan!
2TI 1:9 ESV
who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began
He has a plan for us!
God has a purpose for our lives. He has called us out and set us out for others to see. The word purpose relates directly to “shewbread”. In the temple God required the priests to showcase twelve loaves of bread, representing the twelve tribes of Israel and God’s work In their midst. The “shewbread” was simply a visual reminder of the power of God.
God has called us to be on display for all to see, not so that others will see us but that they would see God’s power and give Him glory because of His working in our lives. His purpose for me is to do a good work in my life…He will restore me and make me to be like His Son. He will take me from my brokenness and heal me. He does the same in each of us.
He does the work. Calls us to live a holy life…a life that demonstrates His mighty power and by living a holy life He sets us on display for others to see. That is our purpose…we are trophies of God’s grace and power to bring the dead to life, give sight to the blind and set the captive free.
Not a bad calling. Not a bad purpose. Not a bad reason to live victoriously.
