For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. (Deuteronomy 32:9-10)1/ The LORD's portion - his people .2/ How he found them - in need of redemption .3/ What he did with his people - He found, led, instructed and kept them .
