You Can Live in the Light

2 Timothy 1:9 ‘He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,’

It was God’s decision…and time began. 

Time began after the creation of the earth. And before this, the grace that we needed was already given to us. Hallelujah!

Jesus once told a parable, a king held a great banquet and invited his guests. But no one came to the feast. It was all prepared and kept ready before the invitations were sent out. 
Likewise, when God calls us to him, he has in store blessings and everything else that we require. He called us to a holy life because of his grace.

Matthew 19:4-9
4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ ? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

In the beginning the Creator made them male and female. 
What do the verses above infer? God has answered all the issues and questions possible about marriage right in the beginning itself.

Jesus is pointing out everything to the very beginning.

Genesis 1:1-2  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

In the beginning the earth was chaotic, no life, no birds, no animals or trees. Are you in a similar situation? Is your life unsteady, confusing, disorganised? 
The earth was covered with water completely. But the Holy Spirit was hovering over the waters. 
Similarly, if you allow the Holy Spirit to come into your life, then it will not remain the same. God can work in the midst of any mess.

After that he said “Let there be light”.  The time of darkness is over, the time of disappointments and gloomy thoughts are over. Light is coming, clarity is coming, blessings are coming.
