29- January      Knock and Be Encouraged

Ephesians 1:9  God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and He makes everything work out according to His plan. 

Take heart and be encouraged. You are eternally connected to Jesus Christ and nothing can change that. You have been adopted into the royal household of God Almighty and there is an inheritance there with your name on it! God chose you, before you ever set foot on earth, and He is working everything out according to the plan He has for you. That’s not all. Jeremiah 29:11 says His plan is a good one and you’re going to like it.

So relax, God’s got you and He’ll never let you go. Just keep on — knocking on  doors, doing the good works He gives you to do, and loving others. The rest is up to Him and He’s faithful to do what He has promised.

DECLARE THIS:

  •  I have peace and joy because I know how everything turns out.
  •  I am so glad that I am on the winning side and my victory is guaranteed in Christ who always leads me in triumph.
  •  By faith, I receive an inheritance from Christ now, in this life.
