Set Apart

“But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.” (Psalms 4:3)

Hear the words of the Psalmist beloved, the LORD hath set you apart for Himself; your secret place is under His special protection. Satan assails you with his hatred and fiery darts of temptation but you hath the LORD set apart for himself. Ungodly men hate and despise you, they would turn your glory to shame but you are the LORD’s and He will hear you when you call. Stand in awe, and sin not for you are loved and protected by the Father. No enemy is able to pluck you out of His hand. 

The child of God is favored by the grace of God. Never think for a moment that you are forgotten or forsaken for the LORD hath set you apart for himself; you are under His special favor. You hath He chosen and made a royal priesthood, a holy nation and a peculiar people. You are His; purchased by the blood of His Son, separated to Him by faith, and sealed by the Holy Spirit, until the day of redemption. You are the LORD’s, commune with your own heart and rejoice, for you bear His image, and your name is engraved in His Book.

Believer, knowing that the LORD has set you apart for Himself changes everything. He has brought you into His presence, He has favored you with His graces, and He has made you to dwell in safety. Put your trust in Him and abandon your all upon His altar.
