It's all going according to His plan

It is hard to live a life that we don't know the daily outcome of.  We know that when we confess Christ as our Savior that we will be in eternity with Him in glory, but we don't know what the day to day will bring. We are justified through our confession of Christ because of the work that He did on the cross, and we will be glorified with Christ when we are united with Him in heaven, but what now?  The process of salvation between justification and glorification is sanctification.  Sanctification is the part that sometimes hurts and other times confuses.  It is the bridging of the gap between what we believe we should do as Christians, and what we actually do.  It is the often painful correction we receive when we stray from God's will, and have to be placed back on the path.  Ephesians 1:11 states, "also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will".  Man was created as an image bearer of God for His glory, and that is what we are still meant for. How are you glorifying God today, and do others see Christ in the image that you are bearing?
