Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

How many times have you thought about this verse and wondered why it could be said when we are also told that God chose the Israelites as His race?

In God’s eyes we are all human beings and we all deserve the same chance at getting to know Him; we are all given the same free gift of salvation and when it comes down to it, we are all given the same chance at being saved by Him!

Christ came to seek and to save the world and not to divide and conquer the world! Because we have all the same choice we are neither looked at as being slaves not at being free! We all belong to Him because He has bought us with His blood already!

Psalm 22:30 Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord.

Sometimes we may think that there is nobody else trying to make sure that the gospel gets told to the next generation, but God has promised us that His story will never go untold.

No matter how much we turn our back on Him, He will always make sure that there is someone else ready to tell others about Christ!

God has been faithful to this promise from the beginning of time and will continue with this promise until it is time for us all to go back with Christ! Never give up telling someone else about God!

Jeremiah 33:22 I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless as the stars in the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.

When God promised to give Abraham more descendants than he could count it was not a promise that Abraham would be able to see happen during his lifetime, but something that he would have to trust would come to pass.

God is not always going to deliver things to our front doors so that we see everything the way we want to; sometimes He delivers stuff that we only get to hear about well after we think it was overdue.

God knows the perfect time for things because He is not limited by time like we are. We need to rely fully on God and not impose our own limits on what He can do!

Jeremiah 31:36 If those ordinances depart From before Me, says the Lord, Then the seed of Israel shall also cease From being a nation before Me forever.

Jeremiah had some horrible things to tell the people of Israel, but this is not one of them. This should give all people hope in our eternal and all powerful God!

Here God is reminding us that He is in control of everything both here on earth and in the heavens above! Not just the ordering of electrons in an atom but the very cosmos itself is being held together by God!

For as long as we can see we still have stars above we should have confidence that God’s promises continue to stand just as they were in the beginning! Awesome!
