Day 38 "Treasured By Our Lord"
Beauty in Belonging
Good Morning Beauties!
The truth of this particular lyric is special to me. You see, on my very first 40 Day Journey experience, this truth healed my broken heart. To know that God chose me and treasures me was exactly what I needed to believe. It was the antidote to the pain of rejection I had felt nearly all my life. With this revelation, God gave me a new name, “Segullah,” meaning, “God’s treasured possession.”
Let’s see what the Bible says about being God’s treasured possession.
“For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.” Deuteronomy 7:6 (NIV)
“You have declared this day that the Lord is your God and that you will walk in obedience to him, that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws—that you will listen to him. And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands.” Deuteronomy 26:17-18 (NIV)
““On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, ‘they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him.’” Malachi 3:17 (NIV)
What does God want you to know about how He considers you His treasured possession? It may be helpful to look at both words individually. What does treasure mean to you? Do you believe God can see you in this way? What about the word possession? Does your mind immediately think of being constrained, or tightly held? What is He saying to your mind and your heart? Selah.
The Spirit brought me through an extensive word search this morning, and I’d like to share a portion of it with you.
”Treasured” means something of great worth or value; a person esteemed as rare or precious, cherished.
”Possession” means one belonging to another who has ownership of them.
”Belonging” means having an intimate relationship with another.
Beauties, we are God’s treasured possession. What is our treasure? What is it we desire most? It’s belonging to and having an intimate relationship with the King of Kings , Almighty God, Creator of the Universe, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Let the revelation sink in as you praise Jesus with this beautiful song.
