Romans 9:14-29
Dear RTB’ers,
So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. So then He has mercy on whomever He wills, and He hardens whomever He wills. (vv. 16, 18) It is comforting to know that, in the end, it is God who wills this or that outcome. What if God, desiring to show His wrath and to make known His power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which He has prepared beforehand for glory… (vv. 22-23). In the USA we have so much emotion associated with our Presidential elections, especially the last two where former President Trump is concerned. But as I read it, for both Trump followers and Trump “haters”, it was God’s will that Trump be elected in 2016 and it was God’s will that he be defeated in 2020. What if God, desiring to show His wrath and to make known His power…??!! We had no idea what’s on God’s “mind”!
Blessings!
