God remembers his covenant promises forever. Even if it takes a thousand generations he will do as he said.
ROMANS 11:28-29 (MSG)
From your point of view as you hear and embrace the good news of the Message, it looks like the Jews are God’s enemies. But looked at from the long-range perspective of God’s overall purpose, they remain God’s oldest friends. God’s gifts and God’s call are under full warranty—never canceled, never rescinded.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Even when we fail to live up to God's expectations, his promises remain active.
DAILY FODDER
How do you know that God's promises are never rescinded?
PRAYER
Faithful God, you stay true to your word even when we flake out and turn our allegiance other directions. Forgive me for the way that this flakiness presents in my life. Help me to remember what you've said and to live by it. I'm going to live according to your word and your over-arching promises. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen!
