Children of the Living God

Children of the Living God – Rom 9:26-27

Vs 26 – It will happen in the very place where they were told they were not His people.  They will be called the Sons of the Living God.  This is spiritual irony.  Jews are rejected and Gentiles are called.  Those who are given the truth reject it and those who do not have truth, accept it.

Vs 27 – Paul then spends the next three verses quoting Isaiah.  Though the number of Israelites will be like the sand by the seashore yet only a remnant will be saved.  Quantity does assure quality.  There will always be a remnant.  A small group who will want more of God.  In scripture there is always a remnant, a group of people who are not satisfied with ordinary Christianity.  These are people who allow the Holy Spirit to continue to drive them into deeper depths and higher heights with God.  We are to grow from glory to glory.  All those who have been pioneers to trail blazers have been people who wanted more.  They wanted God’s blessing and power.  They wanted His reality and anointing.  It made them different in a good way.  May that be your prayer today.
