REMINDERS

Some people tie a string around their finger. Others write themselves a note. Others say to someone else "Remind me to..." God gives us reminders in His Word. Our text contains three such reminders.

We are to remember:

THE GRACE OF GOD - Vss. 14-15

God chose Israel above all nations. God has chosen you and I above all people, if we are born again Christians. It is us who are the children of God (John 1:12). We did nothing to deserve this. It is all God's grace, unmerited favor.

GOODNESS FOR GOD - Vss. 12-13, 16

Because Israel belonged to God, she, as a nation was to act accordingly. As Christians we are to act as the children of God.

We should live out these verses in our lives today.

THE GREATNESS OF GOD - Vss. 17-21

Israel had experienced God's greatness. As a result, Israel was to be motivated to behave as God would have her to behave. Because of God's greatness to us, we too, should motivated to behave like His children..
