You’ll never neglect any part of the God-head, by spending time
with the Son. That’s His revelation of Himself. The Blesser, is
God Himself. Don’t try to understand that. Just believe it. They
say the problem with clearing the bar in the high jump, is going
over “head first”. You’ll knock the bar down every time. You’ve
got to go over “heart first”. Then let your head follow. Well, that’s
a good way to study the Bible. Go in with your heart first, and let
your head follow. Ephesians 1:4,

“He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that
we should be holy and blameless before Him in love.”

Have you ever meditated on that? You are one of God’s eternal
thoughts. Forget the Calvinist and Armenian arguments. Forget,
what is God’s part, and what is man’s part? Just come to this
chapter with simple faith. Remember that He’s behind all your
repenting, receiving, believing, trusting, depending, praying and
seeking. God is behind it all. It’s His sovereign grace. Just
leave it there. The glowing mystery of everlasting love. Behind
your choosing Him, is His covenant, His purpose, His decree and
His will. I don’t understand it, but I know that God is the Blesser.

Just think, of the first verse in your Bible? Is it Genesis 1:1?
That’s not the first verse in my Bible. Ephesians 1:4 is! Listen
to Genesis 1:1,
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

But way before God said, “Let there be light”, Ephesians 1:4
says,

“Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us
in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes”
