September 21, 2022: Day 204 – Psalms 124-126 and 147

There is a verse in Psalm 147 that might be interesting to some of you.  Look at vs.19-20 and it reads: “He has revealed his word to Jacob, his laws and decrees to Israel.  He has done this for no other nation; they do not know his laws.”  This gives us what we have always knows, the choseness of Israel as being  the people of God to the extent that the laws of God were only revealed to the people of Israel.  We knew this with the whole 10 commandments thing, but this really puts it into words.  It should also make us think about who are we today in the eyes of God.  Thanks be to God that in the new covenant through Jesus Christ we have been chosen, as well as all of humanity, to be God’s children.  That’s a relief.

I also like vs.8 from Psalm 124 which states: “Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.”  So we have that going for us.
