Observation

What does this chapter show us regarding God’s faithfulness and intentions in regard to Israel?

Application

Do I believe God will keep His promises both to Israel and to me and my brothers and sisters in Christ?

Prayer

Dear Father, Thank You for Your precious promises, and thank You that You always keep them! I believe You will do just what You say in Your perfect timing. Thank You that the Day is coming when Christ will return and Israel will recognize Him as their Messiah, and all believers, Jews and Gentiles will serve Him in harmony and worship You in spirit and in truth! In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Pray to BLESS!

One good way to pray for people is to use the acronym BLESS to pray for God’s blessing on every area of their lives:

• B – BODY (physical health)
• L – Labor (their job or school)
• E – Emotions (emotional health as well as guarding against letting emotions rule)
• S – Social (relationships with family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, church, etc)
• S – Spiritual (remaining true to God and growing in Him)
