But God was gracious and showed mercy to them. He stuck with them out of respect for his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He never gave up on them, never even considered discarding them, even to this day.
ROMANS 11:29 (CEV)
God doesn't take back the gifts he has given or disown the people he has chosen.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Even if we are unfaithful God faithfully sticks with his people.
DAILY FODDER
If God doesn't take back the gifts he has given or disown his chosen but wayward people, what does he do in response to unfaithfulness?
PRAYER
Merciful God, I am grateful for your loyalty, even when we are disloyal. I confess that I forget or downplay your calling so that I can pursue my own goals. But you don't stop pursuing me, pulling me back to the safety of your merciful presence. Transform my life and outlook so that I can respond with faithfulness to your faithfulness. I want to live a life shaped by your loving loyalty. 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.
