This verse really inspired me when I read it. God has given us so much and blessed us all with so many things. There are so many things that God does for us but we are so busy we don't even see Him working. We look at all the wrongs and bad things that happen to us and forget to take the time to see all the good things He has done for us.
I always seem to complain and get upset over all the bad stuff when there is so much good that I could be looking at behind all the bad things that are happening. God doesn't want us to get upset or complain all the time, He wants us to be able to see the big picture and realize that everything we are going through will all work out in the end.
The second part of this verse really impacted me since it made me realize that God chose me before I was even made. Wow, a God of the universe chose a small, unknown, sinful person like me and chose to love me and send His Son for me before I was even born!
We are so blessed to know God as our Savior- we have such a wonderful gift just knowing Him and being able to serve Him!
Thanks for this encouragement and reminder. I know many times when things are going great I don't stop to think God for all my blessings. It's a conscience effort. Great verse! Have an awesome day!
