God hath not cast away His people which He foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
“Romans 11:2′

It is very clear from Paul’s statement that God has not rejected His people. Prior to Israel’s existence as a nation, God knew them as His people. God has promised Israel many times that He will never abandon them or forsake them. After this, Paul introduces new evidence pertaining to a conversation between Elijah and God regarding the Israelites. In the following verse, Paul quotes Elijah’s complaint.

As Paul reminds us, God always preserves a remnant of faithful people through whom He will work and use for His glory. Even when Elijah, the mighty prophet, pleaded with the Lord against Israel, thinking he was the only faithful person left, God’s response reminded him that His plan is unfolding in His time and way.

As God planned and determined before the foundations of the world, His plans did not depend on the faithfulness of a country, person, or group of people, but on His own faithfulness. He remains faithful even when we are unfaithful. For all eternity, His plans will not fail, and we will never be rejected, but will be accepted in the Beloved.

Let us pray:

Dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father, how great your mercy is! How deep your riches and wisdom and knowledge are! How unsearchable are your judgments! How inscrutable are your ways! Through all generations, You have proven Your faithfulness to Your people. Please help me to be strong in the Lord and to put my trust in You when I face any problems in life. No matter where I go, I am sure You are with me. Thank you dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father. I pray this throughout the mighty, glorious, fulfilling name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings through Jesus Christ, our almighty, wonderful dear Lord, Saviour and Redeemer.
