Heavenly Father, what a comfort to know that nothing will influence Your purpose and plan of redemption, just as there was nothing to influence Your sovereign choice of Jacob over Esau. Thank You that my salvation is not determined by my character, conduct, natural descent, or human merit, but was determined by You, to be a gift of Your grace to all who believe on the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that I may live a life that honours Your name. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
