Thy God. Deut 4:37#RTTBROS #Nightlight\xa0\n\n\nOur reading today comes from Deuteronomy 4:37- "And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt." This verse reminds us that the Lord our God is a personal, relational God. He refers to Himself possessively as "thy God" in other passages to convey intimacy.\n\n\nThe God of the Bible is not some distant, detached deity. He loved and chose the Israelites, delivering them powerfully. This verbs like "loved" and "chose" reveal God's deep care for His people. He initiates relationship with us.\n\n\nGod could have simply called Himself "the God" but instead He says "thy God." He wants us to take hold of Him in a personal way, not approach him formally. He is our God, belonging to us, just as we belong to Him. What a comfort!\n\n\nWe can call on the Lord our God intimately, knowing He hears us (Psalm 145:18). We need not cry out to some far-off supreme being. The Lord our God invites us to converse with Him, casting every care on Him (1 Peter 5:7).\n\n\nGod cares about the details of our lives. As Deuteronomy 4:7 states "For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?" He is near, involved in all things we face.\n\n\nLet us thank God today that He is not a detached, impersonal deity. Through Christ, we have access to Him as our God, personally relating with Him. We can boldly approach His throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16) knowing the Lord our God cares for us deeply. What a blessing to serve a God who wants intimacy with us!\n\n\nOur Podcast, Blog and YouTube Links\n\nhttps://linktr.ee/rttbros\n\n\xa0\n\nBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.\n\nhttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
