Your People Israel - 2 Samuel 7:22-24

2 Samuel 7:22-24 ESV 
Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went to redeem to be his people, making himself a name and doing for them great and awesome things by driving out before your people, whom you redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and its gods? And you established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever. And you, O Lord, became their God.

Written thousands of years ago, this passage like many others speaks of that special and eternal relationship between God and Israel. A nation that has faced many trials and was dispersed for thousands of years, only to be regathered by the hand of God. 

The past has confirmed this to be the case. The future awaits fulfillment of the rest of God's plan. God is with them and pity the one who attacks His chosen people. 

Your kingdom come
Your will be done 
On earth as it is in heaven
