How Great is My God

You know what humbles and amazes me more than almost anything else in the Scriptures? 

That God chose me, for Him, even before I was born. 

He chose me.

BEFORE my mother, father, anyone  knew I was coming, God knew.

This shows two things:

1. God loves me. He's loved me since the beginning of time. He desires me to know Him, to love Him, to trust Him, to follow Him anywhere He leads....more so than any human being. 

That's the humbling part. Now, the amazing part.

2. God choosing me before anyone knew I would be born means He's been around since before I was born. God loving me since the beginning of time means He's been around since the beginning of time. 
All of this, means He's the one who created time and has orchestrated every event - birth, death, marriages, wars, holidays, everything. 

Wow.

Putting these two points together just brings me to my knees. Because, in the midst of every event that has ever happened on earth He still loves me so much and in such a way that no human can.

And, it's not just me. It's every true believer who has lived, lives, and will live. 

How great is my God? Beyond comprehension. 

Ephesians 1, 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17, 1 Peter 1, Psalm 139.
( These are not all the passages pertaining to this, by no means! But, they are a good start. Read. Ponder. Praise God from whom all truths and blessings flow. )
