Today God says:
"I have called you with a holy calling".
He promises me:
"Who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace" (2 Tim. 1:9)
My response to the word:
God has saved me and He has called me with a holy calling through His grace. "For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast". God's marvellous grace has reached me in my moment of deepest need. He has saved me and called me with a holy calling. Praise His name.
My prayer:
Father, thank you for saving me and calling me by your grace. I will always live for you.
Today's scriptures:
"God never changes His mind when He gives gifts or when He calls someone". (Rom. 11:29 GW) "You will know the confidence that He calls you to have and the glorious wealth that God's people will inherit". (Eph. 1:18 GW) "God saved you through faith as an act of kindness. You had nothing to do with it. Being saved is a gift of God". (Eph. 2:8 GW)
Quote for today:
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man. (Oswald Chambers)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
