Deuteronomy 7: 7-9"The Lord took no pleasure in you, nor you chose, because the your crowd was more than all other people ... but because the Lord loved you ...".
Hello! I spent a while without internet, but now I'm back! I've been thinking in these last few weeks about our Christian universe and came across the same problem that the Israelis faced thousands of years ago ... THINK that WE are the "Darlings" of GOD and that nothing will happen to us if we obey God.
The people of Israel who witnessed many miracles in the desert and saw many times the goodness of God, once freed from slavery,they began to disregard of orders of conduct imposed by Moses.
Numbers 16: 3 "and gathered against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them: too much is already; because the whole Congregation is holy, they all are saints ... "
It is clear that today don't have wars as was at the time of Moses, nor the Earth opens to swallow when disagree the order of father, but surely a few times already happened in our mind the following sentence: "I am much better than the world, think i'm good!" and we think that there not will be judgment for our sins, or any consequences to our actions.
It's Needless to say that we are completely mistaken. I'm reading the book of Deuteronomy, and the chapter 7 aroused much to my attention, because God are declaring that the choice of it by the people was not by quantity or importance, and yes because he loved his people.
By so many times we forget that great detail, and we are proud when in fact we were to be further humiliated in front of the greatness of God. He chose us not by our talents, he chose for himself. And this is what reminds us that we need to improve on a daily basis and that Holiness isn't our goodness, is the gift of God.
