We are in the Seed ♥

Romans 9:6 "But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel," 7 "nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac your seed shall be called."

 These verses echo Jesus throughout the gospels. He speaks of how many will call his name, claiming they cast out demons even in his name, but God will say to them "turn from me you workers of iniquity. I never knew you." (Excuse me if I butchered that verse). 

Also in John 8:39 "[...] If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham." 40 " BUT now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this."

Christ was constantly speaking of the phonies and the fakes within the body. He was always calling us out in our hypocrisy. In Romans 9:6-7 I am reminded that it is in the SEED that we are even called. The seed of Isaac whom Jesus eventually came. The promise is available but not all who want it will receive it. Not all will be called of the seed in that hour of judgment. I find myself wanting to take inventory. I desire to be without falsehood so that I may have that complete assurance in my faith because at times I wonder how can a woman like me be used at all? I know that God loves me but I am brought once again to the thought of how much do I love the Lord. He has done great things for me and through me. He has changed me in ways that are supernatural and not of this worlds technique or standards. Yet, I stumble at times and I look at the pavement. perhaps. a bit too long when I hit it. I sometimes wonder how can He continually love someone who questions their capabilities in an ALL CAPABLE GOD?

I am human I suppose. I love my King but I know who I am. Isn't that such a predicament. To see what you have and still be you. I pray I am not being a Debbie downer about this all I'm just so exhausted of it all. Faith is something that I have through the privilege of having encountered the Truth. But it isn't something that we as Christians and Believers in Christ should use to be stagnant or worst, to write off the sins we continually commit, saying "Oh... God knows my heart and He won't turn me away because I have FAITH in Him." Its the activity of growing in Faith not SITTING on Faith that gives us assurance isn't it??

Well I am really loving my devotions through the book of Romans. What are some of your favorite Books in the Bible? What are some of your favorite verses of scripture? What is GOD revealing about Himself in your walk with Him?

I have such a beautiful creator. I really do. 

Thank you for stopping by!
