Today’s Manna!
Romans 11:11-12
In Romans 11:11-12, the apostle Paul speaks about the profound mystery of God’s plan for salvation, particularly concerning the relationship between Israel and the Gentiles. He reveals that Israel’s rejection of the gospel opened the door for the Gentiles to experience salvation, and yet, their disobedience also presents an opportunity for Israel’s eventual restoration.
As we reflect on these verses, we are reminded of God’s sovereignty and His redemptive purposes for all people. Despite Israel’s rejection, God’s plan remains steadfast, and He continues to work out His purposes for both Jews and Gentiles alike. This passage invites us to consider the depth of God’s mercy and the breadth of His love for all humanity.
Just as God’s plan unfolded according to His divine wisdom in the days of Paul, so too does He work in our lives today. We may not always understand His ways or His timing, but we can trust that His purposes will ultimately prevail. Even in times of uncertainty or apparent setbacks, God is at work, orchestrating events for His glory and our ultimate good.
For those of us who are Gentiles, we are reminded of the incredible privilege we have received through faith in Christ. We have been grafted into God’s family, becoming partakers of His promises and beneficiaries of His grace. Let us not boast in our own merits but humbly acknowledge the mercy extended to us through Jesus Christ.
At the same time, let us not forget Israel, the people through whom God revealed Himself to the world. Though they have stumbled, they are not beyond God’s reach. As we pray for the salvation of the nations, let us also intercede for the Jewish people, that they may come to know Jesus as their Messiah and experience the fullness of God’s salvation.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your unchanging love and faithfulness. Help us to trust in Your sovereign plan, knowing that You work all things together for good. May we humbly receive Your grace and extend Your mercy to others, that Your name may be glorified among all peoples. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
