“I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” But what is God’s reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭11:1-6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,This stands out because God says, “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” This is very reassuring in our current time. God isn’t surprised by anything that happens in the world in which we live. More and more people seem to be blinded to the reality of abortion and willingly elect officials who champion it. More people are blinded to sex trafficking, while caring more about the color of someone’s skin. The world will always have people that kneel to Baal, but we are also in this world and have a chance to introduce them to Christ in gentleness so the scales will fall off their eyes. Please pray that we and our friends continue to point people to a relationship with Jesus. Please pray for all the unbelievers.
