“My choice is you, GOD, first and only. And now I find I’m your choice!” Psalm 16:5 MSG
We have already seen how the secret of David’s life was his relationship with his Father and how, without Him, he could do nothing; now we see that David’s out and out choice is God and, through that, he has discovered something rather wonderful. David says “My choice is You, GOD, first and only.” but then he goes on to say he’s discovered “…..now I find I’m Your choice!” What a wonderful discovery!
But, how can David be so sure that he is ‘God’s choice’? And, likewise, how can we come to that place where we can be sure that we are God’s choice? In the Passion translation it puts it that David said to the Lord “…..I have chosen You alone as my inheritance.” As the youngest son in his family he would be aware that he wouldn’t inherit anything from his father. But David would know that the Word of God says in Numbers 18:20 “….the Lord said to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in the land [of the Israelites]…..I am your portion and your inheritance”.
That is the promise that we also have as children of the Most High God, when we make Him our choice! We find, like David, that He is our ‘portion’ and our ‘inheritance’ and we become ‘God’s choice’.
Be Blessed 🙏❣️
