Romans 11: Pleading with God

God plainly has said and He is trustworthy: I will not abandon My children. Paul now includes the prayer of Elijah: he pleaded with God about Israel but then Elijah goes on about how he is the only prophet left. Listen carefully to God’s answer:  “I have kept for myself 7,000 people who have not bent the knee to Baal,”[vs 4] 

Why is this an important statement? Do you ever feel like you are the only Christian in your family, in your neighborhood? God is saying, you may not know the ones I have chosen, but I know and I have sealed them with the Holy Spirit. One day we will be amazed to stand in heaven and see many who we did not know were believers but God knew! Even now God knows and He will reveal them. 

 Today rather than bemoaning that you, like Elijah, feel no one but you are a believer, trust that God knows and one day they will be revealed.
