I Don't Know Why??? 9/21/22



John 15:16 (KJV)
16  Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

1 Corinthians 1:1 (KJV)
1  Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

CALLED-from the same as <G2821> (klesis); invited, i.e. appointed, or (special) a saint :- called.
 Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.

As I read 1 Corinthians this EARLY morning, I was struck by the TRUTH of the Chapter-The FACT that we who are SAVED are the CALLED!!!

1 Corinthians 1:2 (KJV)
2  Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

“CALLED to be saints....”

1 Corinthians 1:9 (KJV)
9  God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

“CALLED unto the fellowship...............”

I won't take the time to go into a heavy theological study here, but it goes something like this:

Malachi 1:2-3 (KJV)
2  I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,

3  And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

WHY did God HATE Esau and love Jacob before they were even born??????

My point is that IF you have found the Lord or better yet, if God has found you, WE ARE BLESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AMEN!!!???

I well know that when I personally got SAVED I certainly was NOT looking to be SAVED-in fact, I did not even realize I was lost!!!! SMILE!!!

GOD CALLED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All around ALL of us are the “less fortunate!” Never, NEVER say “It can't get any worse!!!”

The question begs to be answered then, “WHY are our lives SO good!!??”

How and WHY did God CHOOSE us?????

WE are the “ELECT” of God!!!!!!!!!!

ELECT-from <G1586> (eklegomai); select; by implication favorite :- chosen, elect.
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.

I smile when I remember my youngest granddaughter KarmaRaine asking me a few weeks ago is SHE was my FAVORITE granddaughter.

David asked the sincere question of God:

Psalm 8:4 (KJV)
4  What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Beloved, there are BILLIONS and BILLIONS of human beings-ALIVE-on planet earth today and TRILLIONS of those same homo-sapiens deceased.

There are more people living is misery, poverty and disease than those of US living in prosperity.

It boggles my mind when I think of how BLESSED you and I are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And YES, my heart is broken daily with the “cares of this life.”

So many broken and suffering and my INABILITY to “fix” it/them.

My realization that MY time here is too rapidly fading.

As Mr. Crouch sang:

“I DON'T KNOW WHY JESUS LOVED ME? I DON'T KNOW WHY HE CARED?

I DON'T KNOW WHY HE SACRIFICED HIS LIFE OH BUT I'M GLAD-

I'M GLAD HE DID!!!!!!!!!!!”


Today, IF you are SAVED/Today, IF you are the CALLED/Today, IF you are the ELECT, be glad

SO GLAD HE DID AND WE ARE!!!

I DON'T KNOW WHY!!

God Bless You,
