God’s chosen one
Psalm 89
I have made a covenant with my chosen (Psalm 89:3)
- I, God
- (by myself and of my own freewill) have made
- a covenant, an agreement, a contractual arrangement
- with (someone else, I have interacted with)
- my (remember, I did it; the results are mine, my responsibility)
- chosen (I selected, the object of my selection is ‘my chosen’. Will you argue that I am unfair to choose? )
2 Kings 20
Hezekiah, upon learning that he would die soon, prayed.
- And before the prophet was off the property, the word of the Lord came to him (v 4)
- God had heard Hezekiah’s prayer and seen his tears (v 5)
- The king was to be granted an additional 15 years of life (v 6)
- Hezekiah, faced with the choice of signs, chose what he considered to be the more difficult (v 10)
- And it was so (v 11)
