Wednesday’s regular schedule is back in place. Yay! And today the intersection came for me as we are struggling through a study of Romans at noon Bible Study. Paul does some difficult teaching in this letter, but the one verse that spoke to me loudest was chapter 11, verse 29: for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. (NRSV)
This is a comforting promise, that God’s gifts and calling are irrevocable and that God does not go back on God’s promises or take away any gifts. Even if it seems God has pulled away from us, or abandoned us, because of events in our lives or the world, that is not true. These are good words to remember, especially in times of struggle. Thank you, Paul, for the reassurance.
Blessings.
