He brought out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy; he gave them the lands of the nations, and they fell heir to what others had toiled for -that they might keep his precepts and observe his laws. Praise the LORD. (Ps. 105:43-45)
This is one of those "happy ending" Psalms. Their journey is complete; they have reached the Promised Land. Praise the Lord.

There is one tiny little assignment left....remain faithful to the Lord's precepts.

What a privilege to be called the sons of God! Our sins are washed away, and we are justified by FAITH. But how convicting at the same time!
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. -Eph. 4:1
