DAILY DROP OF WATER

Rom 9:31  But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. (32)  Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; (33)  As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” When it speaks here of not being ashamed, it is not referring to an individual not being ashamed of being a follower of the Lord Jesus. It is saying, “Everything you have embraced by trusting the Word of God shall be fulfilled”: (2Ti_1:12)  “For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.”
