Promises

3 January 2011.

Ephesians 1:3-4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.

Happy and a blessed New Year! From Val and I and all our family we wish you and all your loved ones  a year filled with hope, peace and joy. It is well to remind ourselves that God also wishes us a blessed New Year and that in this year His promises to us will come true. The first promise is that we are blessed in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, this promise is also part of the fact that we are the chosen of God. God has chosen you to receive His blessings.

We need to respond to this by accepting and believing the promises that God has for us, and that as a result we should be holy and blameless before Him. Even though we may do things, say things, think things that may not be holy and blameless, it does not stop God. Even though we may not be perfect, and we may not be good, (because only God is good and perfect), He chose us before the foundation of the world to be His. How we respond to in this year, is our choice and when we do respond with thanksgiving and praise, we find the reality of His blessing being manifested in our lives.

Be encouraged today to accept the promise of God for you.
