Israel, The Story Of Us

DAY 3 OF 7

THE STORY OF THE WORLD- A mystery revealed

I love putting together puzzles. It’s so satisfying to start with a pile of pieces that appear to have no meaning and see as each piece finds its place in the big picture – a mystery is revealed! A beautiful picture emerges! However, it’s so much harder to complete the puzzle if you don’t have the picture on the front of the box! Without the big picture, every piece seems to have no meaning and the work is much harder.

We each are a part of Israel’s story – we are a piece of the large puzzle God is assembling. However, until we understand the mystery, seeing the big puzzle picture, we can feel like Israel doesn’t really matter to us or fail to see why it matters if we pray for Israel or not.

Israel is a picture of God’s sovereign plan to redeem the entire earth. It is through the Jewish people we received the Messiah, Jesus. And it is through us, the Gentiles, the blessing comes back to the Jewish people! So those who are blessed with salvation are blessed through Israel and become part of Israel.

The mystery of Israel, and the world, has been revealed to us. We are just so close to the picture and such a small individual part of the puzzle that we many time miss the big picture. Even those of us who have read the Bible most of our lives can miss the bigger picture of how God loves Israel and wants to include us in the love story. 

So, no matter who you are or where you live, Israel is part of your story! 

Let's pray together!

Pray: Pray for God to awaken us to HIS story…the story of the world! Ask God to give us His perspective on Israel, the Jewish people and our role in praying for them.

About this Plan

Israel, The Story Of Us

God chose Israel as His beloved nation and people. They are the apple of His eye. If we as believers are supposed to love what God loves, wouldn’t it seem natural that we would love Israel, care for her, think about her and most certainly…. pray for her!
