As indeed he says in Hosea, "Those who were not my people I will call 'my people', and her who was not beloved I will call 'beloved.'" "And in the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they will be called 'sons of the living God.'" And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, "Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved, for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay." And as Isaiah predicted, "If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah."
So far it is going well this week. I've got 11 verses down with 7 more to go. Prayerfully, I will reach my goal of 18 verses! I will certainly only be able to do it with God's help and mercy. This morning I woke up at 5:45 - not on purpose. The same thing happened yesterday, but I went back to sleep for 30 minutes. Today I decided to get up and I have reaped the benefit! I spent a lot of time reviewing this morning and still had time to take on new verses. It was a sweet, uninterrupted time that I look forward to having more often. I just hope that I will choose to stay awake on those days!
