Heavenly Father, I marvel at the wonderful way that You have kept a faithful watch over Your people, Israel, and returned many back to their land, despite their continuing unbelief and spiritual poverty. It is wonderful to see the way You have guarded them through centuries of time and to know that a day is coming when they will not only be physically restored to their Promised Land and permanently settled there but will be spiritually enlivened by faith in Christ. They will have their New Covenant fully ratified when Jesus is crowned as King and hailed as Lord. Thank You that I too have been made spiritually alive by faith in Christ and am a minister of the New Covenant that was cut at Calvary. Thank You that Your promises to both Israel and the Church are 'yes' and 'amen' in Christ Jesus. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, it is amazing to realise that for thousands of years the nation of Israel has been like a valley of dried-up bones, dead in their sin, estranged from You, and scattered throughout the world in unbelief. But it is equally wonderful that You have never faltered on Your plans and purposes for Your chosen people and that the day is coming when the whole house of Israel will repent of their sin, return to You, call on the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved. Continue to protect and care for Your people who are still living in unbelief. What a blessing that day will be when You pour out Your Spirit on all flesh, take away their heart of stone, and give them a heart of flesh. Hasten the time when Your name will be glorified throughout the world and lifted high by the whole house of Israel. This I pray in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, You are a good and gracious God, Whose promises to Israel as well as to those in the Church, stand fast forever and ever. Thank You that Your faithful promises to all Your people, are rooted and grounded on Your faithfulness and long-suffering mercy, and do not rest on what we have done, or failed to do. I pray for Your people Israel, that many would come to recognise Jesus as Lord and their Messiah as Saviour, during this Church Age, and thank You that a day is coming when the dead bones of that nation will be resurrected into a United Kingdom of Israel, where Jesus reigns on David's throne, as Lord and King. Thank You that I am a member of Christ's body, and I pray that I would live and work for Your greater glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
