Deuteronomy 7:6-9, 12-14 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. “Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments; “Then it shall come to pass, because you listen to these judgments, and keep and do them, that the Lord your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers. And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you. You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock.

Shalom! Day #114. Do you know that you are a chosen generation, a special people to God? Let's pray. Father, thank You for choosing us and showering Your love and mercy upon us. You have taken us out of the darkness into Your marvelous light. Thank You for setting us apart to proclaim Your name and all Your mighty and marvelous works in this generation. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!
This same kind of verse is even written in 1 Peter 2:9. So this verse was prophesied in the old testament and now again Peter is reminding us about this verse. There is a reason why the Lord has chosen you, so that you may proclaim the goodness of God. You are the chosen generation, a 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. Folks, you should know onething, that the Lord did not love you because you re good, or because you are faithful, or because you are talented and gifted, but because He looks at the attitude of your heart. Today if the Lord wants to bless and prosper you, well it will be not because of everything you do and everything you are, but because of your heart.
Then it shall come to pass, because you listen to these judgments, and keep and do them, that the Lord your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers. And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you. You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock.
Let this day be the day of the Lord!
