Deuteronomy 33:3. “Yea, He loved the people; all His saints are in Thy hand: and they sat down at Thy feet: everyone shall receive of Thy words.” HE LOVED THE PEOPLE. Not all are the same – either then or now – God’s people are different – yet in some ways alike. Some are impatient – others are terribly slow – Still, because they are the Lord’s, they are called to be light.
Some exercise their strength – others are relatively weak. Some will always need help – while others are able to give. The only explanation of their differences we seek – Is, God made them different – and the way we choose to live.
Our daughters are both different, yet from the same line – In some ways, likes are the same, and in other ways unique. Some characteristics are from their mother – others are mine – They are both special to us – nothing changes our love for each.
A Sovereign God has called us making each believer His own – Not because we are important, but because He is God. By grace we’ve been elected, His work has begun – My response to Him should be faithfulness, for I have been loved.
The eternal God is my refuge, and like a soaring eagle in flight – He bears me through life, though all dangers abound. His arms are beneath and the many enemies in sight – Are thrust out so I can dwell in His safety alone.
God’s people should be happy because we are loved – His help and protection are given to keep us from harm. There is a uniqueness in His people, by the Lord we are saved – And to keep us from falling are His everlasting arms.
“There certainly are many reason, Father God, for me to be happy. Being saved is one very great reason: saved from sin and its power, saved from a life of sin, saved from the eternal consequences of sin, saved for Thy use now, saved for heaven. May I never overlook or think that the “precious” things are my right. Whether it is the “precious things of heaven,“ "precious fruits” brought forth by the sun or put forth by the moon, the “chief things” of the mountains, or the “precious things of the earth;” I know all of them are from Thee and I appreciate them greatly. Heart-felt thanks, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
