(Previously Published on Mrs Words Blog & Hillsong Creative Devotionals) “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty.

We are God's chosen people. We have been called and graced to make God known in all the world. We are chosen by God's will. He has uniquely and intricately created you and I, each one of us, to live and be all that He has individually and collectively called us to be

1 Thessalonians 5:24 tells us "The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it." God keeps His promises. He calls you and He enables you and He will provide for you. I'm living in His promise today, in this very moment and I will testify, He is faithful!
