“For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;” Romans 8:29 (NASB)
Again, we need to remember the truth from the verse just before today's selection. The apostle Paul has written to the Romans to let them know that God is in control of all things in our world. So great is His love for us that whatever happens in our lives, God causes good to come from it for those who love Him. Today's verse reminds us what God has done and is doing in our lives and why He is doing it. We do not live our Christian lives by ourselves. We never could do so successfully. God is involved and in control if we let Him. God has knows us before we were born and He knew which ones of us would respond to Him and love Him and who would believe and want to be like Jesus. Every day, God wants us to be like Jesus who is the first one raised from the dead to new life so that each of us also can have that new life and become one of His family.
