CHOSEN

Making this a new habit to fill myself listening to one each day before I readGod's Word & this is what I've CHOSEN for this week, linked in my previous post

I AM CHOSEN

"*"I Am Chosen" is a heartfelt worship song inspired by the deep truths of Scripture, celebrating Elohim's love and purpose for His people. This song reminds us that we are chosen by the Creator, called by name, and redeemed by His grace. With every lyrics, it speaks to the unshakable identity we have in Yeshua (Jesus) and the eternal hope found in Him. Remember, You are chosen! Elohim has called you into His family, and His Torah is a light to guide your steps. Return to His commandments, because Yeshua Himself said, 'If you love Me, keep My commandments.' His love is not just an invitation but a call to action. Take up your cross daily, as Yeshua said in Luke 9:23: 'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.' YAH promises strength for the journey and blessings beyond measure for those who walk in His ways." *THT (see * at the end)

I'm allowing the lyrics to soak into my spirit as I read, listen, watch & pray

Long ago I shared on this blog about "Our Identity in Christ" - there's a remnant of that at the bottom of the blog, if you scroll all the way down. I'm not too sure that the various blog posts are still available since I drafted so many of my earlier blog posts. {I found the CHOSEN video that I shared way back in 2010 and repeated in other years, so I had to include & repost this}

Your Identity in Christ - Chosen 1 of 6

But more recent and was currently in the theaters, there is a well-known series called "The CHOSEN". I am not as familiar with this as some others, who watch as much as they can & enjoy immensely. From what I know, Season 5 is in Production (Season 6 is coming) but 5 is also what was in the theaters in 3 different movies (parts) of great lengths: 3 hours, 2 hours, and 2 hours. Good thing they broke it down because 7 hours would be quite the theatrical performance of endurance. Those of you, who watch and are familiar probably know much more than I do, so consider yourselves the experts on being "The CHOSEN". But as we seek more about CHOSEN by God this week, I was thinking about why was "The CHOSEN" selected as the title of this wonderful series. Surely, Jesus is the real One that is "The CHOSEN" by God to be our Savior, however the story of Jesus shared in The CHOSEN series is really about the people that Jesus chose to be His followers. 

If you have CHOSEN to follow JESUS & His Way, I dare say that you, too are part of "The CHOSEN" and without watching regularly, I am sure that each show's purpose is to present the well-known Biblical characters in a very real sense and show that they are CHOSEN and why they CHOSE to become part of Jesus' story or why Jesus CHOSE these people as part of His story. All I know for sure is that I definitely am so very thankful that I have the awesome privilege to be part of The CHOSEN family of Jesus Christ, because I CHOSE Jesus as the center focus of my beliefs and life! HE is part of my life story so that I am able to learn and grow closer every day to Jesus, deepening our relationship - I cannot count all that has blessed my life because of this special relationship that I treasure with the hope to be more Christ-like each & every day so I might continue as a Beloved CHOSEN follower of Jesus Christ, my Savior, my Lord, and my Redeemer. In Jesus, I am secure; I am accepted and I am free! I am valuable, I am forgiven and I am complete! 

"Jesus Calling" shared a recent podcast  #442, with Dallas Jenkins and the cast of "The Chosen". I would not have any idea what You Tube video I should chose to exemplify this series so I chose the first LIVE one that came up of a Q & A glimpse into season 6 (maybe you can share in the comments, some of your favorite episodes or seasons):

What an honor to be
CHOSEN!
This week's readings will awaken me
to the awesomeness
and
perhaps get me into tuning in more regularly
to the tv show series.
THEATER TRAILERSeason 5


I know I have inadequately covered being one of 
THE CHOSEN
yet since
JESUS
is my CHOSEN One
He has me covered more than adequately
and I'm looking forward to the 
Readings for Reflections
this week
with
a
new hunger & thirst 
for more of
GOD
in what Jim Branch compiles
with a
 "deep longing that wells up in me"
- to "have been seen by God from all eternity &seen as unique, special, precious beings" ...(p. 108)
there's such depth to being
CHOSEN
(listen to God's calling that He created you
to be among His CHOSEN, His people).
WOW
