“IN ALL WISDOM AND INSIGHT!”

 Ephesians 1:3-10                      (ESV)

Spiritual Blessings in CHRIST 

“[3] Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO has blessed us in CHRIST with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, [4] even as HE CHOSE US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, that we should be holy and blameless before HIM. In love [5] HE predestined us for adoption to HIMSELF as sons through JESUS CHRIST, according to the purpose of HIS WILL, [6] to the praise of HIS glorious grace, with which HE has blessed us in the Beloved. [7] In HIM we have redemption through HIS blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of HIS grace, [8] which HE lavished upon us, ”IN ALL WISDOM AND INSIGHT” [9] making known to us the mystery of HIS will, according to HIS purpose, which HE set forth in CHRIST [10] as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in HIM, things in heaven and things on earth.”

ALMIGHTY GOD doesn’t make mistakes!  HE CHOSE US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, knowing that I would be the wretch that I am!  

Why did HE do such a magnanimous thing?  1 Timothy 1:15 (KJV) says “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that CHRIST JESUS came into the world to save sinners; OF WHOM I AM CHIEF”!!!

I don’t know about the Apostle Paul (writer of Ephesians and 1st Timothy), but there are days when I am wondering what ALMIGHTY GOD had in mind BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD???  Scripture says HE CHOSE US “IN ALL WISDOM AND INSIGHT” regardless of how poorly I sometimes reflect HIS LIGHT to a lost and dying world!!!
