Shalom,

We are beginning Ephesians today in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan and these verses really blessed me! Ephesians 1:3-6:

3 May blessing (praise, laudation, and eulogy) be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual (given by the Holy Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm! 4 Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. 5 For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him and was His kind intent]— 6 [So that we might be] to the praise and the commendation of His glorious grace (favor and mercy), which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

EVERYTHING good in our lives comes from HIM and HIS divine purpose! HE loves us beyond our understanding! He is GOD and He is GOOD! ALL THE TIME! Here is Hillsong with "God is Good":

Shalom in Him!
