You Are Mine

It is really interesting to take a step back from the inflated language of the media and social

media and try to look clearly at the modern nation of Israel and her history. There is so much

history! One thing is certain though, we must be careful to take our cues from Scripture.

Let’s remember the Biblical words of Paul the apostle, “I say then, has God cast away His

people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of

Benjamin. God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew” ( R O M A N S 1 1 : 1 - 2 ) . Back in the

time of the earliest church, people were wondering whether physical Israel, the descendants of

Abraham, still had a place in God’s story. Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, taught yes. God has

a story that He is crafting, despite the sin of the past and error of the present. And that story

includes modern day Israel. Let’s let Him tell it! Let’s not hinder God’s story by insisting that it go

our way. Let’s watch and pray, not getting distracted by all the noise.
