Romans 9
Apostle Paul saw how his own spiritual family of origin got so caught up in the spiritual ‘projects’ that they missed their calling of seeing the God behind it all. He also grieved at his newly developing spiritual family, Christians, the heir of his spiritual heritage, also ‘missed it’ in that they took pride in seeing that the old group missed out. Today we run the danger of doing the same thing as either of these two groups if our energy is focused on how others miss out. The joy that lifts us up out of our sorrow of others missing out comes as we look beyond the ‘old’ or ‘new’ of the method, and give primary focus to God, the God whose hand is at work among us, and who is among us!
