Listen to the complete chapter reading of Deuteronomy 32 from the King James Version (KJV) (Public Domain / LibriVox CC0) and reflect on today's devotional meditation from catholicdaily.co.
How are they his? By his own sovereign choice. He chose them, and set his love upon them. This he did altogether apart from any goodness in them at the time, or any goodness which he foresaw in them. He had mercy on whom he would have mercy, and ordained a chosen company unto eternal life; thus, therefore, are they his by his unconstrained election. True wisdom begins when we humble our limited human calculations before the all-seeing providence of God. Acknowledge Him in every decision, and He will make straight your paths.
