First Reading
Romans 11:29-36
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
29For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
30For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief;
31So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.
32For God has concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all.
33OH the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!
34For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?
35Or who has first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?
36For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory forever. Amen.
