“For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.” (Romans 11:29, NLT)
Divinely situated at the crossroads of trade and exchange, ancient Israel was blessed with favor to live distinctively among all peoples and cultures. God’s plan was that Israel—supernaturally chosen and gifted by God as special, favored, and blessed—would live above the norm, gaining distinction as a people to bring glory to Him.
Throughout history, Israel’s distinctiveness has attracted world attention as both her land and people increasingly demonstrate a unique purpose and calling to woo all nations to her God.
Israel will never cease to be God’s plan, and our stand alongside her is settled—period. And for us, as the Body of our Lord, we should clearly identify our gift(s) and calling so that we get into position, fill the ranks as the Body of our Lord, and advance the mission to draw all men and nations to Our Father—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The Christian’s calling is like Israel’s—designed by God and marked with favor, a display of the Lord’s purposes—to draw mankind to Him. Selah!
Amen.
