God’s Future Plan for You
“Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.”
Romans 8:30

Ponder This
If you have truly put your faith in Jesus, you can be sure of your eternal glorification. Following the progression of today’s verse, you might expect it to say, “those he will glorify” in the future. But it doesn’t say that. It says He already glorified—it’s a done deal. How is that? How can you be sure of your eternal glorification? Because God sees it as already done. God saw you from eternity. He saw you when you were lost. He saw you hearing the Gospel. He saw you getting saved, growing in Christ, and even already in Heaven. God sees it all. God is in eternity, and God sees you already there, seated at the blessed feet of Jesus, praising Him and giving Him glory. You can be confident in Jesus today because God has already seen you there.
- How would your life change if you really believed God has already seen you in Heaven with Jesus?
- What would you do differently on a day-to-day basis?

Today, envision the future of yourself with God, seeking to live each moment in accordance with that promised reality.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
