Food for the Day 2023 of the Evangelical Church Winning All

MONDAY, 8 MAY 2023


TEXT: Romans 11:25-36


25. I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.


26. And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say, “The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem, and he will turn Israel away from ungodliness.


27. And this is my covenant with them, that I will take away their sins.”


28. Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Good News, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet they are still the people he loves because he chose their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.


29. For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.


30. Once, you Gentiles were rebels against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against him, God was merciful to you instead.


31. Now they are the rebels, and God’s mercy has come to you so that they, too, will share in God’s mercy.


32. For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone.


33. Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!


34. For who can know the LORD’s thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice?


35. And who has given him so much that he needs to pay it back?


36. For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.


(New Living Translation Holy Bible)


TOPIC: GOD’S MERCY


You may wonder why the Lord does not often destroy the righteous why they sin against Him. Apart from the fact that God gives sinners the opportunity to repent, He is the only God rich in mercy and ever ready to forgive.


It is by His mercy that we are not destroyed because His compassions do not fail (Lamentations 3:22). You have a great opportunity to abandon your sin today because the mercy of the Lord is released in abundance.


Only those who readily welcome Him will have their sins forgiven and be reconciled back to God. You, therefore, need to know that, henceforth, sin must not be master over you.


QUESTION: Are you willing to abandon your sin so as to enjoy the mercy of God?


PRAYER: I am ready to enjoy Your mercy, dear Lord, please help to me stop living in sin. Amen.



 

Remain Blessed
