This morning I had to select a new devotional on my phone since the one I've been doing in Philippians was complete. I selected one called She Reads Truth - Colossians. This morning the devotional focused on Chapter 1 verse 1:
This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus... (NLT)
The writer of the devotional took it from The Message Version which says: "I, Paul, have been sent on a special assignment by Christ as part of God's master plan." She encouraged us to put our name in place of Paul's so it would read:
I, Bonnelle, have been sent on a special assignment by Christ as part of God's master plan."
My paraphrase... I, Bonnelle... have been chosen by the will of God... I am chosen by the will of God & today He is sending me on a special assignment.. I am chosen & a part of HIS master plan!! Now... I'm not sure about the apostle part BUT I know that God has a purpose in mind for me today & that it's all a part of HIS plan.
Then... just a little while later I received a text from a dear friend which said: "You are accepted by the Beloved! Just thought you might need to remember that today. Make this your declaration today!!"
So between the two... I am accepted by the Beloved & chosen by the will of God to go on a special assignment as part of His great master plan!!
Wow... What a GREAT way to start the day!!
Blessings!
Awesome as always!!
