Practical Daily Rhythms

Encouragement from Other Passages

Deuteronomy 7:6—“The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His treasured possession.”

Psalm 135:4—“For the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His treasured possession.”

1 Peter 2:9—“You are a chosen people…a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

Living consciously in these ways displays to a watching world that we truly belong to the One who treasures us.
