But Because the Lord Loves You
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. Deuteronomy 7:6-8
We have talked a lot in the last few days about the Lord going before us, being concerned about those things that concern us, preparing the way and fighting our battles.
The question then often comes up, “why?”
Why does the Lord care?
Why is the Lord concerned about those things that concern us?
Why does He go ahead and fight our battles?
As Moses reminds the Israelites: “but because the Lord loves you.”
You are loved today.
You are loved by Almighty God.
And because He loves you, He sent His only Son to the cross to reconcile us to Himself that we might walk in that relationship with Him.
Have you accepted the gift of Jesus in your life yet?
If not, today is the day!
YOU ARE LOVED!
