THE CHOSEN ARE SET APART
A poem and essay by ILMA
Even before you were born, God has chosen you
You are not made by chance but you have a purpose
The chosen people of God are set apart from the world
His Spirit dwells in the hearts of those who heed his word.
Like Moses and the Israelites, he separated his chosen people
You will clearly notice how you are very different from others
God promised to care for his chosen and be with them always
He will never abandon those who faithfully abide and follow his ways.

In Exodus, we witness how Moses pleaded God to forgive and have mercy on all those who sinned against God by idolizing other gods. He reminded God his promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to multiply and fill the earth with their descendants. He praises God for all that he has done for the Israelites and also tells him in this verse that because He was always with him, that made them different from the rest of the people on earth.
When I became born again, I suddenly realized how different I was from the rest of the world. For many years I believed the lie that I am weird because I believe in God. Now, I know why.

For my people will live as long as trees, and my chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard-won games. They will not work in vain, and their children will not be doomed to misfortune. – Isaiah 65:22-23(NLT)
THE CHOSEN ONES
A poem and essay by ILMA
All of God’s people will live as long as trees
They will be delivered and always be free
They will have time to enjoy their hard-won games
All their faithfulness and perseverance will not be in vain.
The Chosen ones will be rooted in God’s word
They will never be corrupted by this world
The people of God will not be doomed to disaster
They will be blessed and will enjoy life ever after.

I just watched a movie about the Jewish people who were the victims of Hitler’s atrocity. It is about a Hungarian-Jewish man who was able to save many Jewish from the hands of the Germans by posing as one of them. The movie’s title was “Walking with the Enemy.” I am always fascinated about the stories of war especially the Jewish captivity and annihilation by the Germans. I think it shows the hand of God in their fate in the second world war. I’d like to think that we live in a constant spiritual battle just like in a war where we are targeted constantly. God promises many things to those whom he has chosen.
