God Chooses--Me?



Understanding Your Worth and Value


God Chooses—Me?
“He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love”
Ephesians 1:4
Moses couldn’t believe his eyes. Why wasn’t this burning bush—burning up!
But God was there—in the bush—speaking to Moses.
“Moses, I have chosen you to go down to Egypt. I’ve heard the cries of My people. Pharaoh has made them slaves… treats them
like dirt. My people suffer! Tell Pharaoh to let them go!”
“You’re kidding, Lord,  right? You choose me? You want me to stand
before Pharaoh and say, “Let the Jews go.”?
“But I’ll be with you!”
“Well, the Jews won’t believe me.  I was a failure in Egypt”
“But, your ready now.  Say to the people,  I AM WHO I AM has sent you. Then they’ll believe.”
“Aw, come on Lord, give me a break. They’ll never believe You sent me.”
“See the rod in your hand, throw it on the ground.”  Moses
jumped—the rod became a snake. “Pick up
the snake, Moses.”  Unbelievable—it became a rod again “Now they’ll believe you!”
“But Lord, I stutter. I can’t talk right.”

“I made your mouth. Obey Me…open your mouth!”
“Oh, Lord, send someone else…pretty please with sugar on top!”
The Almighty was losing patience but—God always wins an argument.
Moses relinquished, went to Egypt and watched ten amazing, horrendous plagues, destroy the land.
Finally Pharaoh screamed. “I can’t take any more! Get lost!”

The Lord chose Moses and He chose YOU before He made the heavens and the earth. He sees YOU now and says, "I choose you... I choose you...forever... I  choose—YOU!  
Jesus loved you first, went to the cross, was crucified and rose from
the dead for one reason—YOU!
YOU are chosen.
                       Don’t argue.
                                     Walk with Jesus
Let Him re-arrange ..your life.
And stand amazed, as Moses did!

You are valuable to God. Chosen!  That’s it! Period! End of argument. 
Dear Lord, Help me believe I'm important to You! I choose YOU!
