Submit To Him

As soon as they hear of me they obey me;
The foreigners submit to me.  Psalm 18:44

King David rejoiced in the Lord and all that the Lord had done for his reign. We also see here what Jesus would see coming when the Jews rejected His message of hope and salvation, the foreigners or Gentiles running to obey and believe in the Lord. As a born Gentile, I am glad that we have the privilege of submitting to Jesus our Lord and Savior! He didn't have to do it that way.

Imagine for just a brief moment that Jesus had said that no one gets into the kingdom until the firstborn, Israel, is ready to believe. Suddenly the Great Tribulation becomes much more ominous as we all wait for Israel to come to Jesus in faith. Don't imagine that for very long, it becomes quite oppressive real quick. No chance of the Rapture, no hope for those who have gone to sleep before us, just a hopeless pagan life until the Jews come to Him. Yikes, we're still imagining what isn't! Praise God for sending His good news out to the Gentiles in order to make His nation of Israel jealous of our salvation in Christ. We believe in the Lord Jesus and we have our great hope in Him! 

Have a hopeful day in Christ the Lord!
