In Christ Daily – Day 13 – Resources for Faith and Practice

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 …

Ephesians 1:11

Thought of the Day:

Predestined is a loaded word. Some believe it means the outcome must happen, while others believe that it is the intended outcome. Regardless of the various schools of thought, one thing is certain; God has been thinking of us for a long time. God has a plan for our good and in Christ this plan has and will be accomplished. On the cross, Jesus’ last words were, “It is finished.” Everything he came to do has been done in conformity with the purpose of God’s will. All that remains is for us to accept it and walk in that truth.

Action of the Day:

What could you do today that would remind you of your acceptance in what God has planned for you? Is there an attitude or action you could pick up (or put down) so that you can walk in alignment with God’s planned destiny for you?

Prayer of the Day:

Loving Father, we have dreams for our children; so how much more do you have dreams for us, your children? Remind me today that I am part of your good plan.
