Exodus 19: ³ Then Moses climbed the mountain to appear before God. The Lord called to him from the mountain and said, “Give these instructions to the family of Jacob; announce it to the descendants of Israel: ⁴ ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians. You know how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. ⁵ Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to me. ⁶ And you will be my kingdom of priests, my holy nation.’ This is the message you must give to the people of Israel.”

 

when I look at how much God loved the Israelites.. how He did so much for them.. rescuing them over and over and over.. and look how He talks to them.. He calls them His own special treasure... that they belong to Him.. that they are His kingdom of priests and a holy nation...

 

you can see the love He feels for them pouring out through His words and His actions.... and we sometimes think.. how awesome to have been able to see that.. to live that...

 

yet we do... we live it every day... because God loves us like that too.. and He says those same great and wonderful things to us and about us... thank you Father.. for loving me so much... for sending your Son to save me.. and sending your Holy Spirit to lead and guide me... I love you so much...
