God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel?
Romans 11:2 ESV
God has not rejected the physical descendants of Jacob. In Genesis 28:15, God told Jacob that he would not leave him until he had fulfilled his promises. The same principle holds true for all of God’s promises. Over and over, God said that he would temporarily repudiate Israel for rebellion and exile them from the land, but every time he also promised that he would preserve a remnant of Jacob who would repent and return to the land. This is illustrated by the reference to Elijah to whom God said that he had reserved a remnant of the prophets of Israel who had not bowed a knee to Baal.
God's covenants with Israel cannot be ended by Israel's unfaithfulness, because he promises to restore their children for the sake of those same covenants. The “people whom he foreknew” aren’t people of whom he was aware before he created them, but people with whom he has a previously established and continuing relationship. This is the primary meaning of foreknow/proginosko as Paul uses it.
Deuteronomy 11:1 Therefore you shall love Yahweh your God, and keep his instructions, his statutes, his ordinances, and his commandments, always.
Deuteronomy 5:29 Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever!
Psalm 119:160 All of your words are truth. Every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever.
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever.
Jeremiah 31:33 “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh: I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Thought for Today: Monday July 28
YHVH wants to use you right where you are. Most probably, you come in contact with people on a daily basis, that will never enter a church, Bible study or prayer group. This is the people He wants you to point them in the direction of the Moshiach. Your actions or your testimony may be the only bridge YHVH needs to bring those people to Himself. Be alert for opportunities today to share the Good News of the Moshiach’s Love.
One of the most important, if not the most important, job Hebrews have during the current second Exodus is the work of harvest.
Matthew 9
36And having seen the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, as sheep having no shepherd.
37Then He said to His taught ones, “The harvest truly is great, but the workers are few.
38“Pray then that the Master of the harvest would send out workers to His harvest.”
Got to see my favorite worship team from Israel, Solu! Shilo and his team are amazing people.
We got to hear their testimonies of God opening doors for them to play in Jordan and how the life of their pianist was saved during the war in Gaza.
It was a beautiful evening with Holy Spirit filled worship.
