He has chosen you
“God requires this conduct from His people because they are His special possession. Though heaven and earth belong to God, He set His focus and attention on Israel beginning with their fathers.
Being chosen - having the special attention of God focused upon you - is a place of great privilege, but also a place of great responsibility. Israel had a special responsibility to obedience. (Guzik)
He has chosen you, don’t let that slip by!
Ephesians 1:5 God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.
When we study scriptures and chew on them, we also need to look for Jesus in them.
He has chosen you, not only refers to the Israelites but to you too because God adopted you through his Son, Jesus.
Remember, it gave Him great pleasure to chose you!
Blessings
