Psalm 16

It only took a minute to read this psalm. We like the freedom to make choices. We choose out friends, our spouces, our houses, and our churches. But there are also many things that we cannot choose; soome of those are pleasant and some are disheartening. We cannot choose our family. The consolation is that in most cases they don't get a choice with us either. One other choice over which we have no control David speaks about in this psalm; that God chooses us.  Specifically: God choose me! (Verse 5) That choice made by God is a very good thing. But don't let it go to your head; he not only choose you, but he has individually choosen billions of others; all of them with out even asking them before he made the choice. You can rebel against God's choice, or you can revel in it, but it doesn't change the fact that God choose you.
