A CHOSEN GENERATION
Scripture: Psalms 33:12 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord."
There are many gods that are worshiped. Some people worship the gods of nature such as the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers, while others worship gods and idols that are made of silver or gold. Even in today's society, there are men and women who are worshiped. There are titles and positions that are worshiped and some even make their ministry their god. In the Apostle Paul's day, the people didn't want to overlook any of the gods so they created a very unique god to worship and called this god, "The Unknown God" (Acts 17:23). The list of gods is endless because people seek to worship something or someone. Yet, the psalmist said that the nation whose God is the Lord is a nation that will be blessed.
We are a blessed people because we have made the Lord our God. Our God is powerful, always present, and is all knowing. Other gods cannot make this claim but our God is unlike the heathen gods, for He is alive. He is never far from us, but fills our very being and lives within our heart. We can actually have a relationship with our God and commune with Him, for our God speaks to us and listens as we speak to Him. Worshippers of other gods do not enjoy this sweet and wonderful communion. They find their gods strangely quiet. The Word declares that our God is love and He loves us but there is no sense of love that flows from other gods. You never hear anyone say, "Buddha is love" or "Mohammed loves me." Other gods demand sacrifices, but our God loved us so much that He made a great sacrifice for us. He gave His only begotten Son to die in our place. The infrastructure of our entire faith is based on God's covenant of love and His sacrifice for us.
We are truly blessed to have this holy and loving One to be our Lord and Master. God declares that we are "a chosen generation, a holy nation, and a peculiar people" (I Peter 2:9). As His people, we are to show forth the praises of Him who has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. Jesus' prayer for us was that we would be one as He and the Father are one, so let us join together as believers as we serve and worship Him. Regardless of our race or color or where we live, if we are in Christ, we are God's nation and we are blessed
May He Bless You and Keep You Today!
With Great Love
