Romans 11:33 ~ Oh, the depth of the Riches and Wisdom and Knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His Judgments and how inscrutable His Ways!
Romans 11:36 ~ From Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be Glory forever. Amen.
Reading cover to cover through the Old and New Testament in one year 2013. A Biographical Reading Plan. Over 150 stories of men & women in the Bible from Adam to John---about 1 chapter per day or read whole context. Listening to the God we adore and what HE is stirring inside of us. "The Glory of God is man fully alive." May we become a little more alive in 2013 than we were yesterday. May His Word melt our hearts.
What good news for all of us we have in these words! "The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins." For the Jew, restoration, for the Gentile, inclusion. "For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable."
ReplyDeleteWe, as grafted in olive branches are part of the Tree of Life because He has hardened the Jew's heart for us.
Oh the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His Judgments, how inscrutable His ways!
What an amazing God we know! How perfect and beautiful and loving His plan! To Him be the Glory, indeed.
I praise God for the mercy and kindness God provides in my life. Getting to know each of you as I read the scripture and then your comments, and your prayer requests as you share your lives with me are a huge blessing.
ReplyDeleteIn recognizing God's kindness to me and his amazing mercy I so desire to show kindness and mercy to others.
This is a Song I must Sing, Sylvia. Grace and Peace
Romans 11:19 "Then you will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith."
ReplyDeleteHow grateful I am to be grafted in. I am also grateful for the pruning God has done in my life, it hurts at first, but how worthwhile it is to get rid of painful things by trusting Him to weed out things that keep me from trusting him, and as a result, heal my heart.
Jan - I know very few people who grow as quickly as you do. Love you!
