Romans 9 &10

Father, your word tells me that you will finish the work and cut short in righteousness. You Father, Son, and Holy Spirit will make a short work upon the earth.

Among mankind you have left a seed. That seed will result in all those who are of it pursuing righteousness of faith. Others who are not of that seed will talk righteousness, but they will seek to be righteous by some set of rules or tradition and not seek the righteousness that you provide through faith in Jesus, your Messiah.

Many who are not of your seed will stumble over faith in Christ as a stumbling stone and a rock of offense. Other people, though, who are your seed will see Christ as the way of salvation, and they will believe and receive him, and they will not be put to shame.

Many people seem to have a zeal for their idea of the “things” of God, but in reality they stay ignorant of God’s way of righteousness by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and instead continue seeking to establish their own righteousness through works of the law. But your truth, Father, is that Christ is the end of the law of righteousness to everyone who believes.
