Psalms 105: 43-45 (NAS)
And He brought
forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout. He gave them
also the lands of the nations, That they might take possession of the fruit
of the peoples’ labor, So that they might keep His statutes, And observe
His laws, Praise the LORD!
Psalms 105: 43-45 (NLT)
So he brought
his people out of Egypt
with joy, his chosen ones with rejoicing. He gave his people the lands of pagan
nations, and they harvested crops that others had planted. All this happened so
they would follow his principles and obey his laws. Praise the LORD!
It has always been Adonai's desire to lead His people into good places. He, therefore, has brought you into a place of joy and exultation. He has called you His elect, His chosen one, because He has selected you, deciding to place you in His family.
When you agreed with His plan, if you had listened closely, you would have heard a ringing cry of joy coming from His throne. Sometimes He was so overcome that He would sing over you.
Now the Lord Jehovah has given you land and your own territory. He has bestowed on you that which belonged to other nations, placing their wealth and substance into your hands. What they had labored and toiled for has now become your inheritance and possession. He brought your enemies to poverty and ruin to bless you abundantly.
Almighty God has brought you here, a place where you can give heed to and observe His statutes and ordinances. You have learned to keep His laws, following His instructions and directions. It has become your custom and manner to watch over and guard all of those teachings that He has cast before you. You have learned to wait for the fulfillment of every decree that the Lord God has engraved on your heart. And you have taken care to protect your heart and every word that Adonai has spoken to you.
Now Yahweh, the One True God, is your praise and your boast. He makes you shine with the light of His glory. You are a fool for Christ and you future is secure in Him
