‘The Kingdom will be the Lord’s’ (Obadiah 21). When, Lord, Your Kingdom comes,
there will be both salvation - ‘The house of Jacob will possess its
inheritance’ - and judgment - ‘There will be no survivors from the house
of Esau’ (Obadiah 17-18). ‘Not by works but by Him who calls’ - This is the
great contrast between ‘Jacob’ and ‘Esau’. We thank You that we have not
been saved ‘because of any good deeds that we have done.’ We have been
saved ‘by grace’. We can never be saved ‘by works.’ We can never receive
Your grace ‘by works.’ Teach us, Lord, to receive Your grace ‘by
faith.’ May we look away from ourselves to You, and say, ‘He saved us.’
‘It is by grace that you have been saved through faith... not by works,
so that no-one can boast’ (Romans 9:10-13, 30-32; 11:6; Titus 3:4-7;
Ephesians 2:8-9).
