Chosen, Redeemed and Bound by Promise
Monday, October 23
1 Chronicles 17:21-22 (NKJV)
“And who is like Your people Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people—to make for Yourself a name by great and awesome deeds, by driving out nations from before Your people whom You redeemed from Egypt? For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, Lord, have become their God.”

In 1 Chronicles, we're reminded that Israel is the one nation God redeemed for Himself. They were chosen to be His special possession, and He performed mighty deeds to deliver them from Egypt and establish them as a unique people. This demonstrates God's relentless love and faithfulness to His chosen ones.
In our own lives, we can see parallels. We, as believers in Christ, have been redeemed and set apart by God. Our spiritual heritage is bound to the promises of God's eternal covenant through Jesus.
Jesus embodies the perfect revelation of God to humanity and serves as the mediator of God's promises to all believers.
As we reflect on this passage, let us remain confident in the eternal promises of God, finding our hope and purpose in the unsearchable riches of Christ and our identity as His redeemed people.

Querido Padre Celestial,
We thank You for Your unwavering faithfulness. We praise You for the eternal promises You have made, and we recognize that they find their fulfillment in Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to see the unsearchable riches of Christ by faith and magnify them as the true greatness in our lives. May we remember that, like Israel of old, we are Your redeemed people, chosen by Your grace and love. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

As we have focused on the end times over these past few weeks, we have heard a lot about God’s love for His chosen people, the Jews. We have also learned that through God’s mercies, we have become grafted into His Kingdom. Think about that fact and go before God, giving Him praise for your inheritance through the Jewish people. Then, spend some time in prayer for Israel and her people, during these difficult times.
