We are His Goal

God has saved us and called us to a holy life — not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time. — 2 Timothy 1:9

Before the beginning of time! How do you understand when that was. God first thought of us at a time we cannot even begin to understand! His reason for thinking of us was to demonstrate his grace and call others to his side. Jesus has always been God's plan and we have always been his goal. Let's make sure we respond by living his holy life!

44:4

They had not gone far from the city when Joseph said to his steward,  “Go after those men at once, and when you catch up with them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid good with evil?

Isn’t this the cup  my master drinks from and also uses for divination?  This is a wicked thing you have done.’”
