DESTINY

IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2013

DESTINY
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Ephesian 1:10-15

God has purposed your destiny;  it's already worked out in Him.  So all things work together for the good to those who love God and those who are the called according to His purpose.  Just as the creation of heaven and earth was worked out through Christ, those who trust in Christ Jesus can be sure that their destiny is being worked out creatively--and shall come to pass.  Therefore, those who put their trust in Christ can boldly say:  "If God be for us, who can be against us?"(Romans 8:31).

Today, let us thank God for destiny!
