You, dear Israel, are my servant. I'm the one who made you what you are. I'm not going to forget you.
ROMANS 11:1 (CEB)
So I ask you, has God rejected his people? Absolutely not!
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God is above and beyond faithful, forever remembering his beloved people.
DAILY FODDER
In this time when one of the greatest fears is obscurity how does it make you feel to know that God does not forget his people?
PRAYER
God, I recognize that you are talking about Israel in our two verses today but I'm moved by the idea that you are faithful to all your people -- even people like me. I'm not exactly a stalwart of faith and devotion, yet you've included me, and your love is a reliable constant. Free me from my anxiety about being insignificant in the world. Refocus my attention on finding my significance in your faithfulness. I'm encouraged. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
