What Is God's Plan For Me? 7 Invitations To The Life You've Been Missing

DAY 6 OF 7

 Chosen to Live as God’s Treasured Possession 

God views you as His treasured possession (Deut.14:2). To Him, you are a rare jewel in His hand (Isa. 62:3). Maybe you don’t feel treasured, cared for, valuable, or worthy. What would change about your life if you saw yourself as you truly are—as precious and treasured by God? What if on this very day, God were to reveal to you all the ways He treasures you? Imagine how you treat your most precious, treasured possession. You protect it carefully; you position in it the best light; you refresh any parts of it that seem worn or fading. If we care for our earthly valuables in this way, consider how much more God will protect us, position us, and refresh us.

When God chose you to belong to Him, He never meant to leave you on your own to suffer and wander alone as a disregarded, worthless person. Instead, He carefully cares for you.

Scripture makes the astonishing claim that God will “never stop doing good” to His people (Jeremiah 32:40); that He “richly blesses all who call on him” (Romans 10:12); that He “richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment” (1 Tim. 6:17); and that He “satisfies [our] desires with good things” (Psalm 103:5). This is a God who delights in your well-being and seeks to love and care for you as His treasured possession.

Consider the gentle care of God in Psalm 23. He makes you lie down to rest; He leads you to peaceful waters; He restores your soul; He guides you. God is a God Shepherd caring for you tenderly.

As you trust in God’s care for your life, remember He arranges the circumstances of your day to ultimately bless you and restore your soul. But just like a rare jewel might need some shining and sculpting to reveal its true beauty, God may put you in situations designed to refine you and rub off anything that obscures your beauty. The whole time, though, He’s treasuring you and showing you His care and love. On this day, look for evidence that God chose you as His treasured possession.
