       Notice too that Paul says we are “called according to [God’s] purpose.” This means that God has a will for each one of us. Coming to my mind right now is one of my favorite verses, which is Jeremiah 29:11, which says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” (ESV). I’ve heard people in the past say, “You cannot just pull a verse out of the Old Testament that was meant for Israel and apply it to Christians.” Well, hold up. Sometimes that’s true, but I believe in this case just like God had and still has good plans for Israel, so does he have good plans for us, as believers. I mean, think about it. If God has good plans for people who not currently in right relationship with him, don’t you think it be safe to say he’s got good plans for us? It is so exciting to see what God brings about in our lives. Personally, I’ve been surprised time after time again by big things God has done in my own life. For sure.
