Day 223 Daily Bible Reading Psalms 90-92 (Listen)Book FourFrom Everlasting to EverlastingA Prayer of Moses, the man of God.90:1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place [1] You return man to dust You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, For we are brought to an end by your anger; For all our days pass away under your wrath; So teach us to number our days My Refuge and My Fortress91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler A thousand may fall at your side, Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place— For he will command his angels concerning you “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; How Great Are Your WorksA Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.92:1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord, How great are your works, O Lord! But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; The righteous flourish like the palm tree Romans 11:1-21 (Listen)The Remnant of Israel11:1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, [8] a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” But what is God's reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, Gentiles Grafted InSo I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion [9] mean! Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root [10] of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
