"Blessed are those You choose and bring near to live in Your courts! We are filled with the good things of Your house, of Your holy temple. You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness,O God our Savior..." Psalms 65:4-5 (NIV)
This psalm of King David is both a prayer and a song for the people of God to sing to give Him praise. David is directing the people to praise God for choosing them, for satisfying them physically and spiritually, for protecting them, and for supporting them in an awesome manner.
As believers, we are blessed to be included among the elect of God. We have been chosen to be one of His children, adopted into His family. (Ephesians 1:5, Titus 1:1 and 1 Peter 1:2) It is God who gives us the inclination and who draws us near to Himself. (John 6:44) In His presence we are blessed to enjoy all of the good things which He provides including, righteousness, grace, mercy, comfort, and joy. When we communicate with Him through prayer, He grants our requests, frequently in ways that are much greater than we can imagine. (1 Corinthians 2:9) All who believe and choose Him are blessed.
