Galatians 1:15
Galatians 1:15
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace.
This verse highlights God’s sovereignty and His intentional timing in calling us to His grace. It wasn’t by accident or coincidence, but rather 'when it pleased God' that He chose to reveal His purpose in our lives. This teaches us that God’s plans are perfectly timed and are executed according to His divine will. The phrase 'separated me from my mother’s womb' underscores the notion that God has been with us from the very beginning, setting us apart for a unique purpose. This is a reminder that we are chosen, not by our merit, but by His grace and calling. In times of uncertainty or feelings of inadequacy, we can find comfort in knowing that God’s call is based on His grace and love. It challenges us to trust His timing and His purpose, understanding that His plans for us are rooted in His profound love and grace, giving us the strength to embrace our unique calling with humility and gratitude.
