Psalm 47 God’s Plan

As we wander through the OT, we come to stories of victory of the Israelites as they conquered foes and finally came to the Promised Land that God had set aside for them. This psalm reflects that event: “vs 4: He picked out for us a special land to be a source of pride for Jacob, whom he loves. (Selah)” Over and over God promised His children, whom He had chosen, a land of milk and honey. God had set aside this land but it did not come with instant victory but  a land that they conquered through His hand. He always called it the land of milk and honey and the spies saw that and experienced it…but…only Joshua and Caleb were blessed to live there. It was their faithfulness and belief in a mighty God that they were given this promise in their lifetimes. 

God has promised you and I many blessings that He has specifically picked out for us and the reason is given: because He loves us! He loved us so much that He sent His Son for us. What blessing can you recall as His gift to you just because He loves you?
