Today’s Thought “Deeper Investigation Reveals…” G. Ward Romans 4 17 (as it is written: “I HAVE MADE YOU A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS”) in the presence of Him whom he believed, that is, God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that do not exist. My existing in the Lord’s earth absolutely means I’ll never measure up to HIS sovereign choice to make me His own (and to be clear, none other will – Ro.3:10). Each day’s presentation (particularly for believers) must resolve themselves to this spiritual reality; how HE declared Jesus to become sin and brought the worse punishment upon Him on behalf of our transgressions, although innocent of sin Himself and whereas horrible misapplication of this miraculous, spiritual phenomenon continues in each of us, a conduit of mercy keeps providing; as our repentance is daily (*1 John 1:8-10). Our Sovereign LORD is with sole power to take us from death to life and build us each day into the new being preferred. We however, must maintain an inability towards suggesting an earthen posture beyond this breath provided; for that too belongs for HIS regard (Ps.24:1).
