“The LORD will give strength to His people;
The LORD will bless His people with peace.”  Psalm 29:11

The following are general references to God’s people.  (Let each of us do a personal study of Scripture that speaks of the elect and the chosen for a greater understanding.)
A special treasure:
“Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.”  Exodus 19:5

Chosen by Jehovah:
“For you are a holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the people who are on the face of the earth.”  Deuteronomy 14:2

Exalted above all nations:
“And that He will set you above all nations which He has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, just as He has spoken.”  Deuteronomy 26:19

Guided like a flock:
“But He made His own people go forth like sheep,
And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.”  Psalm 78:52

Prepared for service:
Luke 1:17 is telling us of John the Baptist,
“He will also go before Him (Jesus) in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’  and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

Characterized by zeal:
“Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.”  Titus 2:13-14

‘strength promised’
Scripture tells us of much of God’s power.  I will mention only a few verses.
2 Samuel 22:40 is from a Thanksgiving Psalm of David:
“For You have armed me with strength for the battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose against me.”

“But those who wait on the LORD 
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.”  Isaiah 40:31

Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3:16
“That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man.”

‘blessed with peace’
The gift of God:
Read our opening verse again.

Perfect peace:
“You will keep in perfect peace, 
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts You.”  Isaiah 26:3

The legacy of Christ:
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.  Let your heart not be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”  
John 14:27

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.  In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”  John 16:33

Peace that passes understanding:
“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:7

Peace abundant:
“Great peace have those who love Your law,
And nothing causes them to stumble.”  Psalm 119:165

Oh Lord, we love Your word!  It speaks to each one as we study it, being led by Your Spirit.  Thank you Most Holy Lord, God Almighty! Amen

So we sing:
Unto the Lord our Savior
Be glory both now and ever.
Glory, forever more,
Amen, Amen, Amen.
