You were handpicked...

Deuteronomy 7:6-8 NKJV

“For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; but because the Lord loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Shalom! Day #73. Do you know that you are handpicked by God for His purpose and His will! Let's pray. Father, Thank You for choosing us and setting us apart for Your purposes and Your will. In Jesus name we pray. Amen!

I would like to cross reference this verse with I Peter 2:9 NKJV But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; You must realize one thing, that you are called and chosen for a purpose, for His purpose not by chance, not by mistake, but by His will and His plans for you. You may ask WHY ME? The answer is simple. Because you are precious. You are an earthen vessel, an earthen jar and inside of it there are hidden treasures. God knows how's precious you are. He knows what's your worth. He knows what each one of you are capable of doing and He calls you and then choose you and then He prunes the best out of you to serve His purpose and His will. The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; but because the Lord loves you. We must understand one thing, God did NOT call and choose us because we have higher education, doctorate, degrees or clever in speech. NO! He calls, then He puts you in a training session and He does the selection that's why many are called but few are chosen because some failed in the training session. It's like a coach doing a selection for the soccer team. He chooses the best after a series of training. God called us from nothing and chosen us to be something. God called us from the best to chosen to be the best of the best.

He called you out of Egypt for a purpose that you may proclaim the mighty works of God to nations. While we were in darkness, He saved, called, trained and choose us. He redeemed us from the house of bondage which binds us and He sets us free.


Let this day be the day of the Lord!
