Beyond Understanding

Beyond our Understanding – Rom 9:14-16

Vs 14 – Paul again uses the question answer method which has become a general means of writing through out this book.  “Is God unjust?”  Not at all.  God’s sovereign mercy is beyond our understanding because God sees the whole picture and most of all He knows our hearts.

Vs 15 – God told Moses that He will have mercy and compassion on who He wishes.  He is God.  We have limited vision and insight.  We have personal bias’ and ideas.  God knows all, sees all and is all.

Vs 16 – The mercy and compassion of God is not dependent on man’s desire or effort.  It is God’s mercy.  God has always been and always will be merciful.  He will not always explain what He is doing but you can stand upon the fact that it will all work out for you best.  Trusting God on a daily basis is a matter of trust and obedience.  Like the old hymn today trust and obey for those no other way to be happy in Jesus.
