My Daily Meditation
My friends, God, wants all his children to be redeemed to Him. Salvation is not just for Israel, but for all people. He sent His Son into the world to be the sacrificial lamb and an atonement for our sins. This is to say, Jesus paid it all, once and FOR ALL people. Come to Him in meekness and humble yourselves before Him. Seek His forgiveness, and you will be forgiven. Confess your sins, and you will be washed clean in the blood of the Lamb. Drink of the living water, and eat from the table of the Word of God.
1 Thus saith the Lord, Keep judgment and do justice, for my salvation is at hand to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man which layeth hold on it; he that keepeth the Sabbath, and polluteth it not, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3 And let not the son of the strangers, which is joined to the Lord, speak and say, The Lord hath surely separated me from his people; neither let the Eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 For thus saith the Lord unto the Eunuchs that keep my Sabbaths, and choose the thing that pleaseth me, and take hold of my covenant,
5 Even unto them will I give in mine House and within my walls, a place, and a name better than of the sons and of the daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be put out.
6 Also the strangers that cleave unto the Lord, to serve him, and to love the Name of the Lord, and to be his servants; everyone that keepeth the Sabbath, and polluteth it not, and embraceth my covenant,
7 Them will I bring also to mine holy mountain, and make them joyful in mine House of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar: for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people
The Book of Isaiah Chapter 56:1-7
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways, for why will ye die, O ye house of Israel?
12 Therefore thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression, nor the wickedness of the wicked shall cause him to fall therein, in the day that he returneth from his wickedness, neither shall the righteous live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
13 When I shall say unto the righteous, that he shall surely live, if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousness shall be no more remembered, but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for the same.
14 Again when I shall say unto the wicked, Thou shalt die the death, if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right,
15 To wit, if the wicked restore the pledge, and give again that he had robbed, and walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity, he shall surely live, and not die.
16 None of his sins that he hath committed, shall be mentioned unto him: because he hath done that, which is lawful and right, he shall surely live.
The Book of Ezekiel Chapter 33:11-16
16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the [c]power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first, and also to the Grecian.
17 For by it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
The Epistle to the Romans Chapter 1:16-17
Read One Psalm a Day
Psalm One Hundred Twenty Eight
1 Blessed is everyone that feareth the Lord, and walketh in his ways. (a)
2 When thou eatest the labors of thine hands, thou shalt be blessed, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as the fruitful vine on the sides of thine house, and thy children like the olive plants round about thy table.
4 Lo, surely thus shall the man be blessed, that feareth the Lord.
5 The Lord out of Zion shall bless thee, and thou shalt see the wealth of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
(a) Editor’s thought - As noted in the opening statement of today’s study, the key here is the word “everyone”. God will meet you where you are today. His mercy does not change, nor is He as a man who might change his mind one way, and a different way the next day. As the scripture says He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Ergo, His mercy, and His grace shall be available to all until such time as He returns to claim His own.
