Reading for the Day: Pr: 21, Ps: 21, OT: Est 1 – 3, NT: Rom 10 – 11
Scripture:
Romans 10-11 Israel’s rejection, God’s restoration
Observation:
I’ve observed that people can be serious but at the same time they can also be seriously wrong. It is good to have zeal but without knowledge it is grasping the wind.
There is always a remnant. God knows who are for Him and it is Him who keeps us. The sheep does not keep other sheep but the shepherd.
Application:
I take this as a call to take the Bible seriously. In this way, zeal coupled with knowledge is present and working within me. Also, The Lord is our guide and none other. My salvation is secured in Him. Since I did not work for my Salvation, I can not work out of the Salvation Christ provided it is by His grace which is not of works.
Prayer:
Blessed are You. Lord, our God, King of the Universe, Who sanctified us with His Words. How precious is Your kindness, O God. People take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They are sated from the abundance of Your house, and from the stream of Your delights You give them to drink. For with You is the source of life; by Your light shall we see light. Extend Your kindness to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright of heart. Make our roots grow deep in the Word, may we drink from the fountains of living water and it would cause us to bear fruit in Your Name. This I pray b’shem Yeshua Mssiach Nagid. AMEN.
