Good morning ladies we are doing this devotional on the Bible app. Please feel free to join us. Today is day one.
Reflection Question: Was there a time when you were not chosen by man? What was your response? Ask God to show you how that was a blessing.
Definitely, I have felt it. And know I was purposely not picked and passed up, my first response was in rejection and abandonment due to a lack of understanding the fatherโs love ,but now in those moments GODdraws me closer to Him. It showed me that I am always HIS selection for healing ,for purpose ,for love ,joy, and for relationship. In this, I truly gained a understanding of โall things working together for my good โ,cause often what felt like rejection was protection and opportunity for growth ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐๐๐
Yes! I have experienced this several times in my lifetime BUT GODโฆchose me for His team based on the following criteria different from manโs qualifications.
โBut the Lord said to Samuel, โDonโt judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesnโt see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.โ โค๏ธ 1 Samuel 16:7 (NLT)
It is a broken and a contrite heart, God will not reject. A heart posture of repentance, obedience and gratitude towards the Father qualified me for this predestined purposeful team. Team Jesus! My fellow Kingdom members (YOU) all work towards the best possible goal of Glorifying God in this life and following His lead to bring other souls to the Kingdom.
