Possession --Psalm 135

Psalm 135:4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His own possession.
It's like choosing a property. There're a lot of houses on the market, but once you've chosen a particular property for your own home, you'd fight for it. You'd take care and look after it. You'd defend it. You wouldn't let strangers wander in and out. You wouldn't allow robbers to get their way into it. You'd design it to the style that you like, decorate it, furnish it to your own like, you will make the way just how you like it and you will make it comfortable to you. You will be proud of it. It's a big part of your life...
That's how Jacob is like in God's eyes. He's not a house that's about to be demolished in other people's eyes. But the Lord has purchased, with a high price, and He's going to rebuild the house and completly change it to a dream home, with gardens, designs, styles just the way He likes.
