S - Furthermore because we are united with Christ we have received an inheritance from God for he chose us in advance and he makes everything work out according to his plan. God's purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God.
O - I know people like to get all ruffled with this passage but I love it! This is how I think of it. God knows past present future and he knew it all at the beginning of time. He knew who was going to accept him and who would reject him. So yes he chose in advance to give believers an inheritance not that he chose who would and wouldn't believe, because he gave us free will but he still knew who would accept and wouldn't. It's a crazy circle I know but that's how I see it in my head!
A - God's plan isn't my plan and I need to adjust my schedule and my thoughts and my time to what his word says and not what I have on an agenda!
P - God I'm so thankful for your all knowing mind and that you have a plan and all I have to do is listen and follow. Help me to be the light you want me to be!
