God's Eternal Purpose

The Inescapable God
God Protects

Ephesians 3:7-13 (the Message)
 ^7-8This is my life work: helping people understand and respond to this Message. It came as a sheer gift to me, a real surprise, God handling all the details. When it came to presenting the Message to people who had no background in God's way, I was the least qualified of any of the available Christians. God saw to it that I was equipped, but you can be sure that it had nothing to do with my natural abilities.
 ^8-10And so here I am, preaching and writing about things that are way over my head, the inexhaustible riches and generosity of Christ. My task is to bring out in the open and make plain what God, who created all this in the first place, has been doing in secret and behind the scenes all along. Through followers of Jesus like yourselves gathered in churches, this extraordinary plan of God is becoming known and talked about even among the angels!
 ^11-13All this is proceeding along lines planned all along by God and then executed in Christ Jesus. When we trust in him, we're free to say whatever needs to be said, bold to go wherever we need to go. So don't let my present trouble on your behalf get you down. Be proud!

For Reflection

You know, I didn't plan to begin writing these daily studies.  I hadn't even thought about it.  And then one day the Spirit moved me.  I never considered myself a writer.  I am a terrible proof-reader.  I guess, I don't need to tell  you that.  I can't even spell well.  And yet, here we are.
What about you?   What have you done because of a motivation that you can't explain?

Pray
for surprises.  Thank God for gifts. Praise God for His extraordinary plan for our lives.  Pray that you give in completely to His plan for your life.
