THE ELECTION OF SAINTS
Greetings in the name of Jesus:
We are getting into a time frame where we are beginning to think about things like the election of officials, and Government leadership for our country. I don't wish to be political at all but instead bring a thought about our personal election by God to be given the opportunity of Salvation, and how that may influence our thoughts on other events of our life.
First of all it was God that chose us from the beginning...an election is God's choice of an individual or a group of people for a specific purpose or destiny Romans 9:10-13, and in that choice there is a plan, and a goal in mind. Actually when we speak of God's perfect plan for a life we are always speaking about the end results, and not the journey taken to get there. I personally cannot believe some of the twists and turns my life has taken to get me where I am in Christ today...it has been a very broken and dangerous road to travel, and yet without that particular journey I would never be ready to do the kind of work in allowing God to operate through me in the ways He has.
I believe that God has set each of us on a specific course, and toward a particular end goal within our lives. I don't believe that we can ever really be happy until we get to the point where God has created us to be. Frankly I also believe that is why we have so much unhappiness in this life...from fighting against what we really do desire in life, and yet cannot attain on our own. God knows our hearts, and He is the only one who knows our purpose in this life from the very beginning to the very end. One of the great purposes is that we become a light in this dark world. We need to shine that light in places where others are completely lost, and alone. Where ever we can shed light of truth on a topic or a decision being made we should do that instead of just sitting by and letting people become victims of ignorance. As a Christian I can see the difference between right and wrong so clearly, and yet for some people around me they can't seem to see the deceit and the lies they are being told.
Our whole purpose is to keep God's truth in front of others so that there is a place they can still go to get some kind of stabilization for life. Without that effort on our part we will find that we are useless to God, and to ourselves if we do not allow God to work through us to the world around us. We are all still in this world, but we cannot be of this world, and that is the real difference in the election that God has given us to be His child. God has chosen you but have you accepted Him fully as your Savior? If you have where is your influence of truth over what we are dealing with in today's world? We continue to be pulled and stretched by the sin and hate of this place, but we have a sure election, and purpose in this life that really blinds the darkness...let your light so shine...may you richly bless God through your life in Him.
