CHANGE

Does change ever slow down? It seems like things are changing at a break-neck speed. Just as I learn how to use the remote the company sends me a new receiver. Just when I learn how to use my phone it breaks and I need  new one. Lord, Please help me keep up!

S.O.A.P.

3-18-2015      Romans 11:9-16

S.       9And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:10Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.11I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.12Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?13For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:14If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.15For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?16For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

O.      God uses riches to humble the Jews by moving their wealth to Gentiles.

A.      I am debtor to all the generations before me for I have much gain from their efforts. I learn from their examples, pick fruit from trees they planted and enjoy their invention.


P.       Father; May I leave a legacy for the next generation. May a part of that legacy be my love for your people? Amen.
