II Thessalonians 2- From Sin to Glory

13 But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.
14 It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.  
15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.

I am so thankful to see God's plan spelled out for me in scripture.  He called me which began the transforming work to make a sinner clean and ready to put on the glory of our Savior!

I always desire to be doing His will and often wish there was a personalized road map for me to follow each day.  How wonderful would it be to wake up each morning and read the plan for our life.  We would have the opportunity to make all the right choices and do the best things, see where we need to be extra prepared and ready for battle.  The more I read Scripture, the better I understand that IS WHAT THE BIBLE DOES! 

Each day the Holy Spirit meets me as I sit in my chair and pray.  As I open the Word, He directs my understanding of His Holy Word to help me to be dependent on Him, prepared for temptation and trials, how to live and what to do.  We must lean on Him, send up that continual pray and He will direct us at each and every turn along the way.
