I, the Lord, will speak to them, and what I say will be done. There will be no more delay.
GALATIANS 3:8 (MSG)
It was all laid out beforehand in Scripture that God would set things right with non-Jews by faith. Scripture anticipated this in the promise to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed in you.”
THE ESSENCE
In his time God fulfills his promises to include people from everywhere in his family.
DAILY FODDER
I need to accept that God's timing is often at odds with mine.
PRAYER
I'm grateful, God, that you are a person of his word. I'm definitely a beneficiary of your promise to include people from all nations in your family. Forgive us for our ongoing tribalism. You're looking out for the whole world and we're looking for reasons to exclude anyone who ain't us. Nurture a global godly perspective among us. I'm trusting that in your time your promises will reach a higher level of fulfillment. In Jesus' name, Amen.
