“But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 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. So do not become proud, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭11:17-21‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,

This stands out because Paul says, “For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.”  Do you ever feel entitled to God’s love?  It can be kind of like the sun in that it’s always there and we start to take it for granted. Now, He doesn’t want us to try to earn it, although He does seem to like effort, but rather to wake every morning with a full appreciation for His love for us. In this appreciation and love for Him, we can’t help but want to be a part of His purpose and obey Him. Please pray that we and our friends fully appreciate God today. Please pray for people to be renewed in their love for Christ.
