God Always Has a Remnant
Trish McCoy • June 3, 2026
The theme of God’s remnant is one of the most encouraging threads that runs through Scripture.
A remnant is a group preserved by God when the majority have turned away. A remnant is "that which remains." In Scripture, it refers to those who remain faithful to God when others do not. God has always preserved a people for Himself and for a reason.
Throughout history, it often looked as though God’s people would disappear. In Noah’s day, only eight souls were saved. In Elijah’s day, he thought he was the only faithful servant left. During Israel’s captivities, only a remnant remained. Yet, God has always had a people.
In Romans 11:4, He says, "I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant . . . .” Elijah said, “I only am left.” God said, “I have seven thousand.”
We may feel outnumbered, but we are never alone. A remnant is preserved for a purpose, actually for more than one purpose. One purpose is for His glory, obviously, and another purpose is for His work. A knowledge of God and a door of salvation remain on Earth because He has left a remnant to insure it.
God never preserves a remnant merely to survive. He preserves them to continue His work."And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape..."(Ezra 9:8).
God's remnant is His bridge to the next generation. We are not merely survivors; we are stewards. The remnant gives hope for the future. The existence of a remnant means God is not finished.
Thank God for a remnant that was left for us! In a world that is “headed to Hell in a handbasket,” as one old preacher used to say, it is time for us to do His work. The remnant gives hope for the future--and people’s eternity depends on it.

God's servants—both earthly and heavenly—are actively carrying out His purposes.
The masses today have become delusional. A delusion, by definition, is a fixed, false belief that is resistant to reason.
In response to the Finding Truth blog entitled, “The Reason People are Delusional,” consider for a moment . . .
In a day's time, we serve up many things--not just food, for ourselves or others, but words. Think about it.
We have all heard the saying "sorry, not sorry" sometime. Hopefully, we heard it and didn't say it.
It has been said that people can resist anything but temptation. We know it’s true. It comes to us in so many forms, and it’s there every time we turn around.
Sometimes unexpected things are the best gifts; and, really, God blesses us with all kinds of good things for which we didn't even think to ask Him.
It’s Christmas! For those of us who have grown up with the Christmas story, it’s hard to imagine that so many others in the world don’t know it, or tell it, or believe in it, or share it—the real meaning of Christmas, that is.
As an English teacher, I love the way roots of words create so many different like-minded words. Grace, gracious, grateful, gratitude—they all intermingle, and they stem from our gracious God.
Although people may not want to admit it, even the bravest of them have fears; and being fearful isn’t limited to the young or to the feeble. We all have them.
