Deuteronomy 7.
BECAUSE the world around is to be judged by God, His people are to be in holy separation from it. They are chosen by Him to be a special people to Him, because He loved them, and will keep His promise. He redeemed them from slavery, the terrible slavery of Satan.
If God were given His true place in the believer’s heart, every earthly blessing he could wish for was to be his. Nothing would be held back. And it is still true that “No good thing will He withhold from them who walk uprightly.” Psa. 84:1111For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:11).
“God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” This is always true, though there may be a testing of our faith.
