If you pay attention to the news, you've probably felt at times that the world is spinning out of control and that evil is winning. You see the horrors of terrorism, war, crime, corruption and natural disasters. The list goes on and on. Sometimes it can be depressing. Some wonder whether God is really in charge of world events. Then you come to realize your own country consists of a bunch of malcontented rich people who are amusing themselves to death. I mean, if you woke up each morning with the concern of starving to death, would you care about which pronouns that people use to refer to you? Romans 11 shows us that God is in charge and that His promises and His purpose will not fail. Romans 11 tells us that in the future, the Jewish people will turn to Christ in unprecedented numbers. God is not finished with the Jews. One other practical aspect of Romans 11 is that it helps us to look beyond ourselves to God's great purpose for history, which should lead us to worship Him for His glorious ways. Paul ends the chapter with an eruption of praise as he is caught up with the truths that he writes about here. Sometimes we get so self-focused that we forget that our eyes should be on God and His glory. "His plan includes us, but it's not ultimately about us." It's about His glory over the whole earth!
