May 24, 2020 - GOD MAKES THE CHOICE

Day 145 - (Today’s Bible readings: Jeremiah 3:19-25; Psalm 119:113-120; Acts 1:1-11 )

GOD MAKES THE CHOICE

So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.” And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. (Acts 1:21-26 ESV)

As God chose Matthias to be the twelfth man, the disciple who replaced Judas, so God has chosen you to be His disciple. You can take great comfort in this fact.

God puts you 
    in the right place, 
             at the right time, 
                    for His right purpose.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your perfect timing in my life. Please use me powerfully in Your service. Amen.

“See” you “in” church this morning.
