“We Were Not Just Picked, We Were Chosen By God”

1 Peter 2:9-10

Chosen is defined as preferred; selected; called; exclusive; picked. 

No one can do the job that God chose us to do.  God chose us for a very specific purpose. We are meant to be used by Him according to His perfect plan.  He chose us to walk a very clear path. He did so knowing our individual personality, talents and His plan for mankind. Despite our fears and doubts, we have wonderful things to accomplish for the Kingdom. God formed us. He gives us power to reach amazing achievements. God doesn’t call the qualified He qualifies the called.  But we have to trust Him in order to seize these victories. The word tells us in 1 Corinthians 1:27; “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.” It may not seem to make sense at the time, but God does not judge like we do. He does not look at the outward appearance, but at the heart and He is never wrong. He chose us, warts and all. God will provide His power to get His results. We provide the clay pot. We are enough because God picked us. God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called. It is the One who called that is important not the one who is called. Understanding and remembering this is the key to our every step in faith.

I come by tonight to let you know God chose us for a purpose just like He chose Paul and David. His choice alone, His plan, His purpose. We are His chosen ones and His plans and purposes will be fulfilled and not a devil in hell can change it now or never. Be bless and I love you!!! JE
