Blessing for the Gentiles

But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When He was hung on the cross, He took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing He promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:13-14

God has His chosen people—but He graciously extended that to include the Gentiles of the world that believed in Him. Thanks be to God. As a Gentile I feel especially blessed to know God…and to be not only known by Him, but adopted by Him.

So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when He adopted you as His own children. Now we call Him, "Abba, Father."  Romans 8:15

Are you part of God’s family? It’s a decision available to everyone…anywhere in the world. You choose. 

Prayer ~ Thank You, God, for blessing and including the Gentiles into Your family.

Water

Be careful not to get dehydrated in this summer heat. Even without the heat we need to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. Drink additional water, sports drink or for children, Pedialyte, to replace lost fluids.

Water—cool clear water—is the best. God created it—it is good.
