During the month of March every year, NCAA Men's Basketball fans anxiously await the day when they will find out if their beloved team will be represented in the "Big Dance".
This important day is called "Selection Sunday".
Did you know that long before you or I were ever conceived in our mothers’ wombs, God already knew us and was calling us to be His children with a special purpose?
( "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love." Ephesians 1:4)
The word “chosen” in Greek is eklego - a compound of the words ek and lego.
The word ek means out, and the word lego means I say.
Together these words literally mean Out, I say!
It can also mean to call out, to select, to elect, or to personally choose.
Thus, before God ever spoke the earth into existence - before His voice ever called out for the first layers of the earth’s crust to be put into place -
He had already spoken our names!
He selected and elected us before the very first layers of the earth were created!
God chose us!
He wants you and I to be a significant part of His plan!
Isn't that exciting?
