Psalm 47:3–4

HE SHALL CHOOSE

Psalm 47:3-4. “He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.”

HE SHALL CHOOSE. It began long before the ages – Way before the prophets and sages – In God’s plan, He chose to place us – In His Son.

Not because in any way we deserved it, Nor for some reason, we were found fit, But in His sovereignty, God desired that, We are in His Son.

Also, in God’s eternal plan, He chose this frail and mortal man, To be part of what He began – When He made the Church.

Each one is a member of Christ’s body, Each one different, yet each one holy – Sanctified by God’s grace only – To be in His Church.

This is not a matter of pride, When we consider Him, who died, And in whose Person, we abide – Alive in Christ.

We find ourselves now really linked, Far beyond what we can say or think, With the Lord’s people of this great King – Made alive in Christ.

We now look for our King to come To take those He chose all to His home, Then His King-ship will be shown – To all the world.

The inheritance that He chose, Is made up of all of those Who His glory and authority will expose – To all the world.

“O gracious God, I have been so blessed to have been placed in the kingdom of Thy Son. I give Thee my heartfelt thanks, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
