Digging Deep in the Word, Nov 16th Edition

Good Morning, Dear Ones! I pray this finds you blessed!

Are you getting busy with Thanksgiving Preparations? I am and I'm loving it! We are just about finished with our home remodel and I have a dining room that is finished painted to decorate :) I am so grateful to live in a country where we are still able to assemble and gather together and count our blessings. Yes, life is difficult for most of us and much harder on others but we still have so much to be grateful for.

Today's Passage is

Ephesians 1:12-14

12 to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.

13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,

14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

Remember, we are In Him, we receive blessings and an inheritance because of His goodness. All to His glory! We have hope in Christ and that would be to the praise of His glory!  In Him, We also heard the message of truth, the gospel of salvation and believed. When we believed, we are sealed, IN HIM, with the Holy Spirit of promise,

Oh dear ones! How precious this Word is! Salvation is ours when we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and confess that He is Lord ... and His precious Holy Spirit seals us to Him for all eternity! We cannot be snatched from His hands :) Such a foundation! We can surely trust during this time of craziness in our world, in such hard times, we are sealed in Him!

Not only that, He has given as a pledge of our inheritance, redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory! When God pledge's something, there is no doubt He will see it to fruition! It has been sealed, fastened, secured so not to be tampered with. We can not lose this promise!!! We are In HIM!!!

Ladies, no matter what is going on in our lives, we settle in our hearts that we are secure, we are His child and He has us here for a reason. We must be firm in our belief that He has all things to work for our good. We will go through trials and tribulations. We will have difficulties in this life. He said so. Period. But we do have a peace that will transcend all understanding if we bring all our needs and cares to Him without doubting. Without being anxious. He is faithful and He is LORD.

That is a lot to be thankful for!!!

with His love,
