Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD. The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. Psalm 33:12 (NKJV)
The LORD chose the children of Israel as His special people. We sometimes wonder why He opted to do this. We come to realize the God’s grace and love for those who He made is so great that, even when they did something He did not like, He chose to love them rather than bring down wrath upon them.
In Genesis, He did not “take out” Adam and Eve for their disobedience. He even created clothing to cover their bodies before He cast them out of the garden.
In 2 Samuel, God didn’t take out David for his sin with Bathsheba. When Nathan, the prophet, confronted him with the fact that what David had done was sin, David realized that he had sinned against God. God took the son to be with Him. He spared David’s life and blessed him personally but, also, allowed dissension in David’s family.
Each of us has had to make a decision to follow Jesus. By doing so, we tell Him that we will follow and obey Him. We allow Him to guide us through our lives. We have had times when that commitment was not always easy for us but, deep inside, we knew that was the path we should follow.
