#1 Choice
"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you."
I was on a prayer call with a dear friend, and after we prayed, we began to chat. In the midst of our conversation, she started sharing how God chose us before the beginning of time. She mentioned that a female has six to eight million eggs while still a fetus. This means that because a woman is born with all her eggs, those eggs were once inside her mother—and her grandmother.
After I got off the call, I let that truth settle in my spirit. Immediately, the verse above came to mind.
I began to reflect on what it means to be chosen. When we choose someone for anything, we usually look for the best—the student with the highest GPA for college admission, the top athlete for a championship team, the most qualified applicant for a competitive job. Agents scour the country looking for that number one person.
As I meditated on these thoughts, I felt the Lord say, "You were chosen out of eight million. I chose you because you were the best of the best, and I knew you could handle the assignment. I nurtured and protected you through the birthing process and brought you into the world. I have never taken my eyes off you."
The thought of being chosen out of eight million people is mind-blowing. Most of us on earth have no idea how powerful we truly are. The Creator of the universe hand-selected each one of us because we were the best! Everyone here is the best of the best for the specific calling God has placed on their life.
Unfortunately, many believe the lies that have been spoken over them. But the truth is—we have been equipped with everything we need to succeed. We received power when we accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. And beyond that, He sent the Holy Spirit, our most trusted Advisor, who constantly watches over us and takes care of us.
We need to receive this truth: we are God's number one pick! You were chosen out of millions. Whatever you're going through right now, let that truth anchor you. No one else is better equipped to walk through your current situation. You have the capacity and the tenacity to accomplish what God has placed in your heart. No one can do it better. You were the number one pick, and no devil can rewrite the story God has already written for your life.
Key Takeaways:
You are God’s number one choice.
There is nothing you lack.
He chose you because you were the best out of millions.
