[Devotional] IN HIS PRESENCE: The God of a second chance

By Oke Chinye

Read: ROMANS 8:28-39

Meditation verse:

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to  those who are the called according to His purpose” (Rom 8:28).

God is the God of a second chance. Romans 11:29 tells us that the gifts and  calling of God are without repentance. This means that He will not change his  mind concerning what He has called you to do. It is irrevocable whether you  choose to do it or not.

If you have strayed away from God’s plan, He is able to bring you back on course.  Because His calling is irrevocable, He always has a redemptive plan for us. When  the first man fell in the garden of Eden, God did not have to scratch His head  and worry over what to do next. He already had a redemptive plan in place  which he unfolded in the fullness of time in the person of our saviour Jesus  Christ.

There is no pondering over a ‘what next’ with God. He is a God of a second  chance, so He already has a back-up plan in place for you as you journey through  the life that He has called you to. The bible says He pities those who fear Him as  a father pities his children, for He knows our frame; He remembers that we are  dust (Ps 103:13-14). What merciful and loving God, He is.

Do you feel that you have wandered too far away, because of the wrong  decisions and choices you made in the past? Why not return to him today. He  already has a redemptive plan in place for you. His call upon your life is  irrevocable. He won’t change His mind over you. And you shouldn’t either.
