September 9 - God Had a Plan to Bring All People to Belief

Unsurprisingly, God had a plan to bring all people to belief.

It is with immense gratitude that we can recognize and feel great joy that Jesus brought the non-Jewish peoples to God. While many Gentiles believed in God, they did not always believe in God the Father. Through the apostles' teaching and including Gentiles in hearing the stories and truths of Jesus's and God's love, a doorway opened for non-Jews to become believers. This was God's plan to bring all people to belief.

Amos 9 in the Old Testament presented prophecies so that we could know that God would make a way for all peoples to come to him. That way was, and still is today, Jesus Christ. It is beautiful to see the Lord spinning the thread of Christianity throughout the Bible, not just the New Testament. Scripture foretells Jesus' birth and impact throughout the Old Testament. Can people still doubt that there is no redemption through Jesus?

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, you created a plan to enable our escape from the sin of our humanness. You knew we would have to learn and grow to understand how magnificent your love is. No words are good, bright, or generous enough to describe your passion and gifts to us. You knew our will would make bringing us back to you more difficult, but you waited, planned the future, laid the foundation, and acted at the most appropriate times. You are a beautiful Lord and a master planner in every way. Thank you for loving us, me, so much. I, too, love you and ask you to continue unfolding your plans and my destiny. In Jesus' name, I pray with great love. Amen
