You Are the Praise of His Glory

You are chosen by Him because from His perspective, before time began, you had already chosen Him. The Holy Spirit lives within you to guarantee that which He already knows and nothing can snatch you from His hand.

August's Message, Day 6:

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:11-14 NIV

We are chosen and predestined, according to His plan, since He already knows all of time - past, present, and future, and He knows everyone who will ultimately come to Him. In God's mind, all this already has been. We, as mere mortals, are simply on the timeline playing it out. Remember, time is something we are constrained to and can only move forward within, moment by moment. God has no time constraint, as He is the author of it all. The point to remember here is that when we become believers, we are marked with His seal, the Holy Spirit Himself, guaranteeing that which God already knows and has promised. You are chosen, you are His beloved child, and His prized possession. He knew you would come to Him before time began, and nothing and no one can snatch you from His hand - all to the praise of His glory.
