February 13 - Day 44
A Grafted Branch
Dear Father, King of Banquets,
Like that unknown hearer of Jesus long ago, I say, "How
blessed it will be to eat bread in the kingdom of God."
Please, Lord, don't let me be like those who were invited to the
marriage feast honoring the king's son but who scorned it in favor
of business deals and family matters. They were left out while the
king filled his house with those from the highways and country
lanes. Your ancient people, Israel, rejected your invitation, and
we non-Jews have filled your halls of festivity and salvation.
But, Lord, we are unnatural branches, grafted in. Let none of us
become proud.
Rather, let every one of us stand in awe of your severity toward
those who reject your Son and your mercy toward those who accept
him.
May I continue in your kindness, lest I be cut off. And may your
ancient people repent and accept their Messiah, for this would be
life from the dead!
In the name of Jesus, the true Messiah of Israel, I pray. Amen.
