Today’s Thought “The Sheep Gate” G. Ward

Romans 9:15

¹⁵ For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I have mercy, and I will show compassion to whomever I show compassion.”

 

The Almighty’s Way is significantly different from ours and we praise for that. Moreover, we’ve been chosen, not because we’ve offered anything (including talent, nor intellect), while assured that our own sins allowed Calvary’s cross; whereby the King of kings, our Savior, gave generously and completely and the Spirit having taught us how the foundation of such grace is marvelously sufficient and we’re feeding each day on that actuality. Each day granted compels us as followers to cease assessing what’s wrong with people made by our Creator, for HE’S shared that dilemma. Our hearts were/are the problem (Jer.17:9-10). HE said they’re desperately wicked and only HE can perform the surgery necessary that obliterates its contamination. Therefore, when we view such spiritual disconnect from any, we should see ourselves, to then share what’s been afforded us (2 Cor.5:16).

 

Father God, You keep us constrained, because our natural capacities lack consistent faithfulness that compels every disciple, Your vessels, to proclaim the portion giving us victory and that distribution must never determine another’s worthiness, for ALL fall short. So, may our gratefulness, more celebrate Your shelter from arrogance to mercy – through Jesus, Amen.
