“O THE HOUSE OF JACOB!”

 

Isaiah 46:3-4                  (ESV)

    “[3] “Listen to ME, “O HOUSE OF JACOB”,

        all the remnant of the house of Israel,

    who have been borne by ME from before your birth,

        carried from the womb; 

    [4] even to your old age I AM HE,

        and to gray hairs I WILL carry you.

    I have made, and I WILL bear;

        I WILL carry and WILL save.”

For this Brain Damaged person, it is quite easy to admit that I USED TO THINK that the “house of Israel” had promises that others could never experience.  But I heard a snippet recently about Simon of Cyrene and his sons (Alexander and Rufus from Mark 15:21) had their EYES OPENED by helping JESUS carry HIS cross to HIS crucifixion!!  GOD WORKED HIS unmistakable PURPOSE in and through their lives, in spite of their past!!!

A telephone call from a friend came JUST NOW (after writing the first paragraph!) and he had a procedure done at a hospital earlier this week where he was told that he could have possibly died in a day or two IF the procedure wasn’t done QUICKLY!!!  He is of a different denomination than I am, but we BOTH are definitely a part of THE CHURCH!!!

I am SO BLESSED to be apart of “O HOUSE OF JACOB”!!  Not a part of the Baptist. Methodist, Catholic, Nazarene, or any other religion!!  But “O HOUSE OF JACOB” is a family of BELIEVERS WHO ARE CHOSEN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD!!!
