Chosen By God

 

“For the Lord takes delight in his people…”

—Psalm 149:4a

How fortunate are those believers in the life-transforming power of God through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. To be chosen by God to belong to Him is a truly wonderful reality.

We have nothing in and of ourselves to commend us to God. While it remains a profound mystery why He has chosen us, nevertheless our choosing by Him should create great joy within us.

Such joy springs forth from grateful hearts—hearts full of gratitude that we belong to God through the sacrifice of His Son on the cruel Roman cross at Calvary.

We stand as ones chosen by God, loved by Him, protected and guided by His Holy Spirit. We must join with the Psalmist and daily experience the reality of Psalm 149:4-5:

For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor and sing for joy...

Let us begin this new day with grateful rejoicing that before the foundation of the earth God chose us to belong to Him.
