God offers divine ownership of the people as God's part of their keeping covenant with God: "...you will be my treasured possession." (Exodus 19:5b)
Am I Your treasured possession, God? Am I fully in obedience to You and fully surrendered to Your desires? Am I your priest; are we Your holy nation?
The fear of God is to be with the people to keep them from sinning. (Exodus 20:20) But how did that work out? And besides "...perfect love casts out fear..." (1 John 4:18)
What do I fear? Of whom am I afraid? Is Your love in me, God? Am I loving in the ways You want, God?
