Now
if you will hear me, and you will listen to me, and you will obey me, then you
will be my valued possession – treasured more than the other people, though
everything and everyone in the earth is mine. (Exodus 19:5)
God
is looking for those whose hearts are committed to Him (2 Chronicles 16:9). God
chose Israel as His people. He speaks here about those who will choose Him – by
doing what He says to do. Do you want to be God’s valued possession?
People
are quick to leap into opportunities to distinguish themselves. To make a mark,
and become known for achievement is a constant pursuit for many. Often,
especially for one who has become a leader of a group or a business
organization, achievement becomes the single focus – even in their relationship
with the Lord. If you hear God; really listen, you will hear Him inviting you
to a very different relationship. God is not impressed by your greatest
achievements. The Lord is calling you to trust Him enough to remember that you
are of great value to Him, and to believe He has carefully prepared a future
for you that fits you perfectly. His desire for you to obey is motivated by His
desire to see you become whole and complete. He already has control. What He
wants is your heart.
Respond
to God’s call to be His valued possession.
