Blessing of The Chosen

Deuteronomy 33:3
"Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: 
and they sat down at thy feet; every 
one shall receive of thy words."

    The life of Moses can be divided into three periods of forty years each. The first forty years were spent in Egypt as a member of Pharaoh's household (Acts 7:21-23) The next forty years, he lived a private family life in the land of Midian (Acts 7:29-30). Moses last forty years was from God's call at the burning bush until his death. Before his death, Moses Blessed Israel. 
    The people of Israel, of which His giving the law to them in such a glorious manner was an instance, and was a distinguishing blessing which other nations were not favoured with, how much more is the love of God shown to His spiritual Israel and special people, by giving them His Gospel, the precious truths, promises, and ordinances of it, and, above all, in giving them His Son to be the Redeemer and Saviour of them. These He embraces in His arms and in His bosom, as the word here signifies; admitting them to great nearness and familiarity with Him, to commune with Father, Son, and Spirit, to a participation of all the blessings of Grace, and to the enjoyment of Eternity hereafter
    It is exceptionally true of the chosen people of God, who are given to Christ, and made His care and charge, as all such who are sanctified and set apart by God the Father. They are preserved in Christ, and these are sanctified in and by Christ, and by the Spirit of Christ, and so may be truly called His saints; and they are in the hands of Christ, dear to Him highly valued by Him, held in His right hand; they are in His possession, are His peculiar people, portion, and inheritance, they are at His dispose, under His guidance and direction; and are in His custody and under His protection, and where they are safe from every enemy, and can never be snatched, taken, or removed from His mighty hands.
Amen!
