As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy.

“Irrevocable” What a precious and powerful word, amply demonstrated by His people. It is almost 2000 years since the total destruction of the Temple of God and the elimination of His people as a nation. Yet Israel is rising from the ashes; God's covenant to Abram, Gen. 12:1-3 and Gen. 17:1-14 was irrevocable and is being demonstrated to us daily.

Today's readings in the Psalms:

Morning: Psalm 31
