I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles.
Isaiah 42:6 NIV
God chose the Israelites to be his special nation. This wasn’t because they were better or brighter than other nations. No, God chose them because of his love for Abraham and so he could bless all nations of the earth through his chosen people. The covenant for the world comes through the blessing of God’s amazing love. Jesus is the light of the world and we are able to enjoy the grace of heaven because of this promise.
Father, I know you have blessed me with your salvation because of your great mercy, grace, and kindness. In turn, please empower me as I try to share your great blessings with others. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
