What is God’s priority? . . . Hasn’t He made a great choice?

Last month I commented of our priority which should be Him, for His is us, the people who make up the world He made for us to live in. For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish; but have eternal life. (John 3.16)  And He did it for us, the people who make poor choices and do, in our stubbornness, as we desire instead of abiding to His law which is, at last, the best,  the safest and most rewarding way to use our time to enjoy ourselves on His companionship. How great! And all we have to do is to believe in Him. Jesus said: “Come to Me all who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and my burden is light”. (Matthew 11.28-30) Why would He say so if He didn’t mean it?  Have you not experienced His love and mercy? I have, but it would take me hours or days to mention them and would probably overlook many. When we ask Him in the right attitude, He is never too busy to turn us away and His vulnerability to our plea is genuine. He created this perfect world where the natural catastrophes happen to avoid worse ones and the heavenly bodies orbit with no collision in million of years. Every thing is perfect, yet, nothing is more important to Him than us. We are His masterpiece created to His image. In case you think otherwise, we are His priority.

When I think He chose to make us His priority, I can not but to be amazed and say like the psalms author:

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which You have ordained; what is the man You take thought of him, and the son of man You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You crown him with glory and majesty! You make him to rule over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet.  (Psalm 8.3-6)  Yet, there are people who deny Him as a Creator.  I pity them, for they have put their trust in man made institutions and irrational ideas made up by unsound, yet acclaimed by the world, men.  I have enough reasons to believe in The One who created all the wonders for us, placed us as His priority; and didn’t rest to find a way to cleanse us to be able to share an everlasting life together.

For that reason I say:

Bless the Lord, o my soul and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord o my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with loving kindness and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle. . .The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness. . .As for man, his days are like grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes. When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, and its place acknowledges it no longer. But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children to those who keep His covenant and remember His precepts to do them. The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His sovereignty rules over all. Bless the Lord all you works of His, in all places of His dominion; Bless the Lord, o my                                                                  soul! (Psalm 103.1-5, 8, 15-19, 22)
