And those whom he predestined, he also called; and those whom he called, he also justified; and those whom he justified, he also glorified.
Romans 8:30
Devotional Message
God’s divine salvation plan for us follows a sacred sequence—His predestination refers to His eternal choice, heavenly path, and holy purpose for His believers. This unbreakable spiritual chain is proof of His faithfulness to complete what He started in the heavenly realms—which also speaks directly to you—a masterpiece of divine creation for whom He has a purpose and plan that He will complete and accomplish through His power.
This truth of God’s sovereignty and salvation reveals His eternal perspective versus our limited human view of time. God has a divine perspective that transcends our own—He knows the past, present, and future of our lives. He knows the people He will divinely orchestrate into our path and the role they will play. He knows the divine timing of each chapter and the occurrences within them. He knows not only your spiritual journey, but that of others—able to see a grand tapestry of His will unfolding behind the scenes. But as we fixate on our personal troubles, we see things only from our human, limited awareness—we can’t comprehend why things are happening according to His divine timing, we can’t understand why people are divinely placed in our lives and then called elsewhere, we can’t grasp where He is leading us or how we are being spiritually guided.
By understanding God’s divine perspective, the way we perceive current struggles is spiritually shifted. We no longer resist the present moment, for we know that this precise moment is part of the divine, predestined plan. We know that because we were called by Him, we will be blessed and justified, and from that sacred state, we will succeed in the divine calling He has placed upon our lives. This is when we realize—beyond our own personal purpose, we are rooted in God’s eternal purpose—where we, our lives, and the way it is unfolding is proof of the glory of His masterpiece-filled work in and through us.
Let’s Pray
Dear God, I am humbled and honored for being called and chosen by You to fulfill Your eternal plan and purpose. While my human mind can’t fully fathom the breadth of what You have planned for me specifically, I am asking for trust in Your faithfulness as I continue to walk forward without knowing where I am being led.
I trust that over time, I will gain clarity over the divine purpose You have on my life, what I came here to do, and how You want me to serve. I desire to live worthy of this holy calling, so that I can be secure in Your salvation and receive Your future glory. Allow me, today, to see my life through Your eternal viewpoint versus my limited human perspective. Help me rest in the truth that You who began this good work in me will be faithful to complete it. Amen.
