Romans 11:29

God’s gifts and calling can’t be taken back. Romans 11:29 CEB

What a refreshing reminder for us who so often experience the fickle nature human relationships. People will use one another for personal gain, discarding those relationships when they are no longer beneficial to them.

This is not the case with God though. Paul argues that the living God has made a promise to be in relationship with Israel, God’s people. If they don’t embrace and live out that promise of relationship, they will not lose their relationship with God.

Our lives are lived in relationship to God who will not forget promises made to us, even if we neglect to live out those promises.

Amen
