God wasn't attracted to you and didn't choose you because you were big and important - the fact is, there was almost nothing to you. He did it out of sheer love, keeping the promise he made to your ancestors. GOD stepped in and mightily bought you back out of that world of slavery, freed you from the iron grip of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know this: GOD, your God, is God indeed, a God you can depend upon. He keeps his covenant of loyal love with those who love him and observe his commandments for a thousand generations. Deuteronomy 7:7-9 The Message.
He did it out of sheer love, keeping the promise he made......
A God you can depend upon......
He keeps his covenant of loyal love......
If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself. 2 Timothy 2:13 NKJV
I was at a traffic light one day when I noticed, crossing from the opposite direction; a little girl drinking from a milk bottle in one hand, and holding her mother's hand with the other.
Totally oblivious to the traffic, looking up into the sky while she is led safely across the road by her mother.
Isn't that how God leads those who trust Him? Faithfully, safely, surely, as we navigate across perilous waters in life. As grown-ups, we often forget that.
It was a simple reminder of a loving truth, that it is the faithfulness of a loving God who keeps us. May we find renewed strength, hope and rest in that.
Shalom,
Sv ".+
