Exodus 18:1-27; Psalms 56:1-57:11; Acts 10:1-23
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. Acts 11:18
In the Old Testament, we read of God’s chosen people “Israel”. In spite of their sin, God showed, through them, His great love and His plan of salvation. In the OT, the Gentiles were generally not the direct focus of this plan, but here we read that this has changed and the Gentiles rejoiced in their acceptance. Many readers of today’s meditation are probably Gentiles. How wonderful to be accepted and brought into His family. —Mary Robins
Oh happy day that fixed my choice, on Thee, my Saviour and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice, and tell its raptures all abroad. —Phillip Dodderidge
