Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning. Thursday, May 30, 2024
Today's Passage : Today's Passage :Why Have You Made Me Like This? Bible Verse:Romans 9:19-26 (ESV) "ou will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? 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—even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? As indeed he says in Hosea, “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’” “And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’” " Message:
Paul addresses what theologians call “the problem of evil in the world.” Since God is all powerful, why doesn‘t He simply destroy evil? Why does He allow evildoers to go unpunished, and wicked men to rule nations? And come to think of it, if He created everything, why did He create evil in the first place?
Paul‘s answer is, basically, “Who do you think you are, to ask such a question? Did you create yourself?”
We are God‘s creation, as are the earth and all people. As such, we are simply not in a position to question our creator. If a potter makes one good pot and one bad one, well, it was his clay and they are his pots.
People are naturally judgmental; everyone is a critic. We feel a strong urge to ask the potter, “why did you make such a crummy pot?”
Christ and many of the prophets and apostles in the Bible warn us repeatedly not to judge others. But if it is wrong to judge others, it is simply foolish to judge God. It is not given to us to question a world we did not make; we must accept it. Instead of criticizing God, we should fall on our knees in thankfulness, for he has made all of us who believe in Christ his beloved children.
Meditation : Prayer : O Sovereign and almighty Lord, bless all your people, and all your flock. Give your peace, your help, and your love unto us your servants, the sheep of your fold, that we may be united in the bond of peace and love, one body and one spirit, in one hope of our calling, in your divine and boundless love........Amen |
