For This Reason !

“For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, ‘For this very purpose I raised you up, to demonstrate My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed throughout the whole earth.’ So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. You will say to me then, ‘Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?’ On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing moulded will not say to the moulder, ‘Why did you make me like this.’ Will it? Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honourable use, and another for common use?” Romans 9:17-21

God’s omnipotence and complete holiness over His creation, when taken alone, are enough to make any “thinking heart” faint with fear and humiliation, knowing the true nature of the human heart. Yet, God never gave up on His children and made a way to “raise us all up with Him” for all eternity. The price was unimaginably high for our Heavenly Father, but He saw our value from His perspective and choose to accept the loving sacrifice of His obedient Son for us....for THIS reason, we can know we are safe in His hands.

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
