You mean more to God than you know
“For the Lord’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance
(Deut 32:9).” This was a part of a song God instructed Moses to write for the Children of Israel, when he was about to move off the scene. This would be a reminder of what God was going to do when they walk away from him to serve other gods.
What Israel did not know, was really who they were and what they meant to God. They did not know how much God loved them and cared about their well being. Somewhat like many believers today, Israel had an identity crisis.Otherwise, they would not, pursue other gods and the culture of strange people who did not know God.
We are God’s delight, his precious creation, whether or not we reciprocate the action of delighting in the Lord. Not only is the Lord our portion, we are his portion too. We are the apple of his eye. His eyes are not filled with wrath, hate and revenge, they are filled with love, mercy, compassion and grace for his most prized possession- humanity.
Be blessed.
Advancing the kingdom of God in the earth!
