Today, i registered myself with this online journal thing, and it's pretty interesting for me, as i've never written a journal for ages. [the last time being 4 years ago i think, on my first digital assistant,the Casio organizer] My mother's bugging me to let her play with my palm.So much for my first journal. David[woohoo!] |

Romans(11:16) If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches. (11:17) If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, (11:18) do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. (11:19) You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in." (11:20) Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. (11:21) For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. What God spoke to me most about today's devotional is in verse 21. I think the natural branches are either the super faithful Christians or the Jews then. And i'm just a ku-ci-rat wild olive root grafted in.And it says in v21 that if God doesn't spare the natural branches if they fall, then we are also not excluded! Another thing it reminds me, that we should never test God or His limits. Though God is stern, He is still kind and graceful (11:22) Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.(11:23) And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. (11:24) After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! God will still graft back the fallen and repentant natural branches. Praise the Lord! David[woohoo!] |
