12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Israel was happy in the
worship of the only true God. It was the blessedness of the chosen nation to
have received a revelation from Jehovah. All who confide in the Lord are
blessed in the largest and deepest sense, and none can reverse the blessing. Andthe people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. Election is at the
bottom of it all. The divine choice rules the day; none take Jehovah to be
their God till he takes them to be his people. What an ennobling choice this
is! We are selected to no mean estate, and for no ignoble purpose: we are made
the peculiar domain and delight of the Lord our God. Being so blessed, let us
rejoice in our portion, and show the world by our lives that we serve a
glorious Master.
